To support random chapter selection, next and previous operations from the user remote control unit, the DVD player reads information from a data structure named Video Title Set Part-Of-Title Search (VTS_PTT_SRPT). This data structure is defined at byte offset 200 of VTSI_MAT (sector 1).

The contents of the following data structure can be obtained by reading from the file position at 2048 bytes (1 sector * 2,048 bytes/sector) relative to the beginning of the VTS_01_0.IFO file. Each chapter (Part-Of-Title or PTT) is identified by a unique program chain PGC and the associated program number PGN with the specified PGC as following.
