DVD R / DVD RW

(Version 1.1) operate in the same way as audio CDs.

DVD -R and DVD +R are two different standards for

recordable DVD drives and discs. This format allows

information to be recorded onto the DVD disc only

once. DVD +RW and DVD -RW are two standards for

re-writable media, meaning the DVD content can be

erased and re-recorded. Single-sided discs can hold

4.7 GB and double-sided discs hold twice as much.

Title (DVD video discs only)

A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc.

For example the main feature could be title 1, a docu-

mentary describing how the film was made could be

title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title

is assigned a reference number enabling you to

locate it easily.

VCD (Video CD)

A VCD holds up to 74 minutes (650 MB disc) or 80

minutes (700 MB disc) of MPEG-1 full-motion video

along with quality stereo sound.

Chapter (DVD video discs only)

A chapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a

film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is

assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate

the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chap-

ters may not be recorded.

MPEG

MPEG is an international standard for video and

audio compression. MPEG-1 is used in encoding

video for VCD and provides for multichannel surround

sound coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and

MPEG audio.

Scene (VCD)

On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions,

moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sec-

tions called “scenes”. Each scene is displayed in the

menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling

you to locate the scene you want. A scene is com-

posed of one or several tracks.

MP3

MP3 is a popular compression format used for digital

audio files that yields very high near-CD quality.

WMA

Track

Windows media audio file. A type of coding / decod-

ing developed by Microsoft Corp.

A distinct element of audiovisual information, such as

the picture or sound track for a specific language

(DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD.

Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you

to locate the track you want. DVD discs allow one

track of video (with multiple angles) and several

tracks of audio.

JPEG

Joint Pictures Expert Group. JPEG is a compressed

file format that allows you to save images with no

Recording

About DVD recording

Notes for recording

•

The recording times shown are not exact because

the recorder uses variable bit-rate video compres-

sion. This means that the exact recording time will

depend on the material being recorded.

Notes:

•

This Recorder cannot record CD-R or CD-RW

discs.

Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can

affect playback and/or recording performance.

Please take proper care of your discs.

•

When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception

is poor or the picture contains interference, the

recording times may be shorter.

•

If you record still pictures or audio only, the

recording time may be longer.

•

The company does not hold any responsibility to

compensate the contents which should have been

recorded, and any losses or damages (e.g. losses

of business profit, or business intermission) that

may arise from malfunction of this recorder (not

recording/editing as intended).

The displayed times for recording and time

remaining may not always add up to exactly the

length of the disc.

•

The recording time available may decrease if you

heavily edit a disc.

If using a DVD-RW disc, make sure you change

the recording format (Video mode or VR mode)

before you record anything on the disc. See page

25 (Initialize) for how to do this.

Disc types and recording formats, modes,

and settings

This recorder can play many different kinds of DVD

discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW,

DVD-R, DVD+RW and DVD+R(DL) discs. The disc

format for DVD-R, DVD+R(DL), DVD+RW discs is

always “Video format”—the same as pre-recorded

DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized, you

can play a DVD-R, DVD+R, or DVD+RW in a regular

DVD player.

The DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording (VR)

format or Video format. You can change Recording

format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase

the contents of the disc.)

The recording mode is closely related to the disc

format. If the disc format is Video Recording format,

then the recording mode is VR mode; if the disc

format is Video format, then the recording mode is

Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not

recordable, and so does not have a recording mode).

These can be changed as required for each recording

and determine the picture quality and how much

space the recording will take up on the disc.

•

When using a DVD-R or DVD+R disc, you can

keep recording until the disc is full, or until you

finalize the disc. Before you start a recording

session, check the amount of recording time left

on the disc.

•

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode,

recording time available will only increase if you

erase the last title recorded on the disc.

The Delete Title option in the Title List (Original)

menu only hides the title, it does not actually

erase the title from the disc and increase the

recording time available (except for the last

recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode).

•

Overwrite recording is available using DVD+RW

discs.

When using a DVD+R/RW, the recorder will exe-

cute the Menu-making operation to update the

new title and editing when removing the disc from

the recorder.

Playlist Editing

Adding Chapter Markers

-RW

+RW

You can create chapters within a title by inserting

chapter marks at the desired points.

Titles, Chapters and Parts

Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or

more chapters. When you insert a disc’s title into the

Playlist, all the chapters within that title also appear.

In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exact-

ly as chapters on a DVD-Video disc do. Parts are

sections of Original or Playlist titles. From the Original

and Playlist menu you can add or delete parts.

Adding a chapter or title to the Playlist creates a new

title made up of a section (ie., chapter) of an Original

title. Deleting a part removes part of a title from the

Original or Playlist menu.

Note:

Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals

automatically. You can change this interval from the

Initial Setup menu (see [Auto Chapter] on page 24).

During recording or playing back, at the point you

want to start a new chapter, press CHP. ADD.

A chapter marker icon appears on the TV screen.

Changing Title Thumbnails

Caution

-RW

+RW

ꢀ When editing using the Delete, Add and Move func-

tions, the start and end frames may not be exactly

as set in the start and end point display.

ꢀ During Playlist playback, you may notice a momen-

tary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.

Each title displayed in the Title List menu is repre-

sented by a thumbnail picture taken from the start of

that title or chapter.

If you prefer, select a different still picture from within

a title.

Press THUMBNAIL to make the currently displayed

picture the one that appears in the Title List menu.

The still picture that you choose appears in both the

Original or Playlist menu.

Is editing a DVD like editing a video

tape?

No. When you edit a video tape you need one video

deck to play the original tape and another to record

the edits. With DVD, you edit by making a ‘Playlist’ of

what to play and when to play it. On playback, the

Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.

Tip:

You can also change the thumbnail picture of the title

on the Chapter List menu. Select a chapter on the

Chapter List menu then press THUMBNAIL. The

thumbnail picture of the title that includes the chapter

is changed.
