Scene Selection
Each feature video on an Explore More DVD is segmented into several separate scenes, or chapters. Many scenes are then divided further into smaller clips. Each clip can run from a few seconds to a few minutes, and is focused on a specific topic.

*To play the entire scene, select Play at the top of the individual scene menu. Otherwise, select any clip from the list of segments that make up that scene. Once you have started a scene or a clip, the program will continue until the end of the feature program or until you return to the menu.
