Use the Titles/Chapters page to configure a DVD's titles and chapters. The figure below shows the Titles/Chapters page:
The following fields are on this page:
Titles List
Lists the available DVD titles. Use this list to add new titles to the DVD, to remove any titles that are not required, and to set the title names to be used when creating a DVD menu.
Chapters List
Lists the available DVD chapters for the currently selected title; with columns for the chapter number, the chapter filename, and the portion. Use this list to add new chapters to the DVD title, remove chapters, to specify the portion of a file to be a chapter, to preview a chapter, to view chapter file information, and to change the order of the chapters. You can also divide a chapter into different portions by opening the Set Portion Dialog. To display the Set Portion Dialog, right-click the mouse in the Chapters list.
DVD Estimated Size Indicator
The indicator shows tick marks for sizes from 0 to 5 GB or 9 GB, depending on the capacity selected in the DVD Capacity drop-down list box.
If you are planning to burn the created DVD image onto a DVD disk, watch this indicator and be sure not to exceed the DVD disk size.
This indicator displays a rough estimation of the resulting DVD image 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 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., Chapter 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.", ISO Image 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.

The indicator displays the amount of space occupied and the amount of free space that would be left if the Titles/ Chapters are created on a DVD with the current settings.
The dotted red line stands for the DVD disk size limit. A green bar shows how much space is occupied by the DVD image. When the DVD size exceeds the DVD limit, the bar will turn red.
Use the Estimation criteria options list to define how the indicator should calculate the estimated size, this option is only available if the video codec A COmpressor combined with a DECompressor, or encoder and a decoder, which allows you to both compress and decompress that same data.COmpressor Also known as an encoder, this is a module or algorithm to compress data. Playing that data back requires a decompressor, or decoder. combined with a DECompressor, or encoder Also known as compressor, this is a module or algorithm to compress data.

DVD tasks take some time to finish. If you repeat a DVD task the resulting image will have a large size that it may not fit on a DVD disk.
