SCMS
(Serial Copy
Management System)
With digital recording, the deterioration of audio
quality is very low. Therefore digital recording
equipment regulates, for the sake of copyright
protection, the using of a sound source copied
using a digital signal to be used to make further
copies of the same data. This is what SCMS
(Serial Copy Management System) does.

Viewing Restriction
This is a DVD video function that “Restricts
playing of discs that support viewing restrictions,
in accordance with the regulated levels of each
country.” Restrictions differ by DVD video and
may completely prevent playing of the video or
may skip or insert alternate scenes for extreme
scenes.
Title
This is the largest unit for divisions of video or
songs recorded on a DVD video. Usually a single
movie is treated as a title by video software and a
single album (or song) is treated as a single title
by music software. The consecutive numbers
attached to titles are called title numbers.
Chapter
This is a unit for divisions of video or songs
recorded on a DVD video, but it is a smaller unit
than a title. A single title is made up of several
chapters, and the consecutive numbers attached
to chapters are called chapter numbers.
Multi-Angle
This is one feature of DVD video, where
viewpoints of the same scene are changed by
recording from several different angles (camera
positions), allowing the viewer to select the
preferred angle.
