The principal element to DVD navigation is the Program Chain, or PGC. It may list content to be played, commands, or both.
PGC's are found in 4 areas, called domains.
- First PGC (or First Play, FP) tells the DVD player what to do on insertion, ie it is the entry point of the DVD program.
- VMG PGCs are used to hold the title menu and submenus in various languages, and also Dummy PGCs to bridge between VTS's.
- VTSM, or the LANG area of a VTS, PGCs hold root, audio, sub-picture, angle, and ptt (chapter) menus and submenus in various languages.
- VTST, or the TITLE area of a VTS, PGCs contain the actual movies or shows.
