Also known as compressor, this is a module or algorithm to compress data. Playing that data back requires a decompressor, or decoder.compressor, this is a module or algorithm to compress data. Playing that data back requires a decompressor, or decoder.

The name for each individual video file on a DVD. For example, under the title "Water Skiing", you might have the chapters "My first try," "My first wreck," and "My first jump."

A set of files that contain all of the video and audio content for a DVD, organized with a table of contents (optional). See also: Title, Chapter, ISO Image.

The name for a group of related video files (called "Chapters") on your DVD. For example, for a DVD called "My Summer Vacation," you might have the titles "Water Skiing," "New Friends," and "Hiking." For each of those titles, you might have one or more different video files.

Also known as an encoder, this is a module or algorithm to compress data. Playing that data back requires a decompressor, or decoder.

Also known as a decompressor, this is a module or algorithm to decompress data.

An ISO image (.iso) is a disk image of a file system. It includes data files that are contained in the ISO image along with filesystem metadata. ISO images are an alternative to physical media for distribution of a "DVD" over the Internet. Most operating systems allow ISO images images to be "played" as if they were physical discs.
