DVD-Photo: MPEG-2 video compression format. The DVD-Photo disk can be played back
on a DVD player which supports S-VCD format and can be played back by PC
CD-ROM with the Datavideo auto PC player. DVD-Photo is full D1 resolution
(same as DVD) but only available for still images or slow motion video sources
due to low data transfer rate of 2.4Mbps for a high video resolution. The DVD-
Photo mode is very useful for creating a video album with high quality images
on disk. The DVD-Photo can record upto 98 images on a CD-R disc with DVD
video image quality.
CDDVD: MPEG-2 compression format. The CDDVD disk can be played back by newer
version DVD players and by a PC’s CD-ROM drive with our auto player. The
CDDVD disk is full D1 resolution (same as DVD) with a very high data transfer
rate of 4.8Mbps. It provides high quality video images for presentations,
educational or personal video collections. The CDDVD disk can record 18
minutes audio/video program on a 650MB CD-R.
Q4. Why will home DVD Players not playback SVCD Discs.
1SVCD is not a DVD standard format, so most DVD Players do not support
SVCD Disc playback.
2Some VCD or DVD Players do not support CD-R disc playback, so it cannot
recognize the CD-R written by the VDR-3000. See the attached VCD/DVD player
list for your reference.
Q5. Why will the recorded video not synchronize with it’s audio on playing back?
We have evaluated similar conditions on playing back the disc with few Players,
but this problem won’t happen on playing back the disc by most famous brand of
VCD/DVD player, such as Pioneer, SAMPO, ACER… so it is a VCD/DVD player
related compatible problem.
Q6. Why does the VDR-3000 take a much longer time on reading some various
Brands of CD-R, CD-R/W discs?
Some CD-R, CD-R/W disc are not fully compatible with the VDR 3000 CD-R/W
drive, so it will take a longer time to recognize the new disc or sometimes it will
fail. We recommend using the Datavideo specific VDR-1000R CD-R or VDR-
1000R/W CD-R/W disc, which have been verified and approved good quality for
VDR-3000.
Q7. Why does the recorded video have some flicking or shifting phenomenon?
Most of the root cause is the original video source quality, problems due to too old
VHS tape or others. Datavideo manufactures a Time Base Corrector machine
TBC-1000 or TBC-3000, which you may use it to correct the unstable video
source and color processing (TBC-3000 only).
Q8. Why does recording fail on some discs.
If there are more than 10% recording fail situation, please contact Datavideo for
further support.
According to the quality level of CD-R disc manufacture:
The “A” grade disc field failure rate is about --- 2%
The “B” grade disc field failure rate is about --- 6%
The “C” grade disc field failure rate is about --- 10%
So there is the opportunity to have a failure recording due to bad disk.
