High-Speed Dubbing (HDD➔DVD)
Dubbing video contents from Hard Disk Drive
to DVD can be completed at an incredibly
high speed — up to 64 times the normal
speed*. A one-hour program can be copied
to a DVD disc in less than 1 minute.
* Possible when an FR480-mode-recorded program is
copied to a DVD-R disc compatible with 8x recording.
Bit-Rate Optimizer (Intelligent Dual-
Pass Encode Dubbing System)
(HDD➔DVD)
DVDs recorded at higher bit rates offer
superior quality, but their capacity may be
insufficient for long programs. Most DVD
recorders handle this by reducing the overall
bit rate.
JVC’s innovative Bit-Rate Optimizer,
based on the Intelligent Dual-Pass Encode
Dubbing System, analyzes the content as it is
recorded on the HDD and then intelligently
optimizes the bit rates — low for simple
scenes, high for complicated scenes. This
provides the best picture quality, while still
fitting the entire program on the disc.
