IV. <strong>Cataloging</strong> <strong>DVD</strong>-Audio<br />
By Marcia Barrett, Nancy Lorimer, <strong>and</strong> Walter Walker<br />
This section addresses cataloging commercially available <strong>DVD</strong>-Audio containing<br />
musical <strong>and</strong> non-musical sound recordings, using the rules found in AACR2 Chapter 6<br />
(Sound recordings).<br />
Chief Source of Information<br />
As with other sound recordings, the title should always be taken from the label on the<br />
disc whenever possible. In absence of a label title, the container (including any insert<br />
material that shows through the container), the title or menu screen, or other<br />
accompanying material may be used. Prefer textual data <strong>to</strong> sound data (per AACR2<br />
6.0B1)<br />
General Comments on <strong>DVD</strong>-Audio<br />
<strong>DVD</strong>-Audio, “designed <strong>to</strong> replace CD-Audio as the primary carrier of prerecorded music<br />
for the record industry,” more than doubles the fidelity of a st<strong>and</strong>ard audio CD <strong>and</strong><br />
supports additional data such as text, still images, <strong>and</strong> video<br />
. Able <strong>to</strong> contain up <strong>to</strong><br />
seven times as much information as a CD, <strong>DVD</strong>-Audio has sound as its primary<br />
content, although it will always have minimal visual content in that there will be a menu<br />
screen for navigation. A <strong>DVD</strong>-Audio may also contain additional visual features. Most,<br />
however, contain nothing additional.<br />
<strong>Cataloging</strong> a <strong>DVD</strong>-Audio is similar <strong>to</strong> cataloging any other manifestation of a sound<br />
recording. There are some special features, however, that are not directly addressed in<br />
AACR2, but that do need <strong>to</strong> be described in the bibliographic record. These features are<br />
the emphasis of this document.<br />
Occasionally, a <strong>DVD</strong>-Audio may have material on the second side of the disc. This may<br />
be in a different format, such as a <strong>DVD</strong>-Video. In these cases, the cataloger should<br />
consult other portions of this guide.<br />
The GMD for <strong>DVD</strong>-Audio is [sound recording]:<br />

Enhanced <strong>DVD</strong>-Audio<br />
Some <strong>DVD</strong>-Audio discs contain additional material that requires a computer or <strong>DVD</strong>-<br />
Video player for access. In these discs, the primary component of the <strong>DVD</strong> is the sound<br />
