User Operations
User Operations (UOPs) are the interactions a viewer has with the DVD. These operations are accessed with a DVD remote control with a settop box, or with the mouse pointer in a software based DVD player. A user operation can represent a single operation or a collection of similar operations. A common example is disabling all user operations to prevent fast forwarding through the FBI warning video. Encore DVD has three User Operations dialogs, one for a menu, a timeline, or the disc.
