I'm looking for definitive and current technical documentation (a
White Paper?) on DVD data structure/layout. Not just video files but
the underlying structures.

Specifically:
- How much space does a file really occupy on a DVD i.e is each file
rounded up to a sector (2048 bytes) or an ECC block (32KB)?
- What's the layout of lead-in and lead-out?
- What's the layout of a TOC?
- How it all fits together... etc.

I tried googling but get swamped with either superficial hardware info
or how to defeat various copy protection schemes... :-/

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Don.
