About DVD recording
This recorder can record to DVD-R, DVD-
RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, DVD-R
DL and DVD+R DL media.
DVD-R and DVD-RW discs can be initialized
for
Video mode
or
VR mode
recording. Each
has its advantages, and it depends on what
you want to do with the recording which
mode you choose.
If you want to edit your recordings in any
significant way, VR mode offers greater
possibilities for cutting, copying, and
changing the way the video is presented.
Video mode is less flexible when it comes to
editing, but it has the advantage that it is
compatible with standard DVD players
(many of which won’t play VR mode discs
1
).
Once a disc is initialized for a particular
mode, all recording on that disc will be in
that mode.
DVD+RW discs can be initialized for
+VR
mode
recording.
DVD-RAM discs can be initialized for VR
mode recording.
DVD+R discs do not require initializing.
Important
The table below shows the maximum
number of titles recordable per disc and the
maximum number of chapters per title:
*1
A maximum of 999 chapters are recordable per disc.
*2
A maximum of 254 chapters are recordable per disc.
This recorder cannot play or record
unfinalized DVD-R/-RW (Video mode)
and DVD+R discs recorded on another
recorder. DVD+RW discs recorded on
another recorder are playable on this
recorder but are not recordable.
The maximum continuous recording
time for one title is eight hours when
using a DVD+R/+RW disc.
If you delete a title from a DVD+R/+RW
disc, the total number of recordable
titles remaining may not increase.
Although this recorder can record
PAL-N, NTSC and PAL-M, you can’t mix
multiple TV line systems on one disc. A
disc can contain PAL-N recordings, or
NTSC and PAL-M. See also
Additional
information about the TV system settings
on page 114.
Note
1 Some DVD players, such as some Pioneer models, are compatible with VR mode discs. Check the operating
instructions for your player for VR mode compatibility information.
