 I'm not quite sure what you mean but - together with low level specs
 (i.e. lead-in, main data and lead-out) - the following three documents
 answer all of my questions:
 
 Volume and File Structure
 http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/ECMA-167.pdf
 
 Volume and File Structure of CDROM
 http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ecma-st/ECMA-119.pdf
 
 DVD Read-Only Disk - File System Specifications
 http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ecma-tr/TR-071.pdf
 
 
 Besides, I seem to remember reading somewhere (over these last few
 days) that DVD consortium (or some other such "official" body) doesn't
 even recognize multisession recording!? Is that right?
 
 Therefore, it would appear that, whatever they provide for $15,000 is
 of limited use and much of it certainly available elsewhere for free.
 At least everything in the context of my original question.
 
 Don.
