If you are interested, there is one reference to that issue at
http://www.dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html#1.19
(actually the entire FAQ there is good info although not
exactly "entertaining reading"). Took me a while to
find that when I ran into it a couple of years ago.
Another reference is on the Video help page at
http://www.videohelp.com/dvd#tech
where there is lots of other good information.
