Erasing and Editing
Before Editing
This recorder offers various edit options for
various disc and title types. Before you edit, check
these types and select an available option.
Notes
• You may lose edited contents if you remove the disc
while editing.
• Finish editing and recording before finalizing. No more
editing or recording can be made on a finalized disc.
• If a message appears and indicates that the disc’s
control information is full, erase unnecessary titles.
Edits for Video mode titles/original
titles
For Video mode titles on DVD+RWs/DVD-RWs
(Video mode)/DVD+Rs/ DVD-Rs, and original
titles on DVD-RWs (VR mode), the recorder edits
actual recordings on the disc. You cannot undo
any edits you make, and the original contents will
be consequently lost.
z Hint
When using a DVD-RW (VR mode), you can keep the
original contents by editing a Playlist (see “Edits for
Playlist titles” below).
To free up disc space (DVD+RW/DVD-RW (VR
mode)/DVD-RW (Video mode) only)
You can utilize disc capacity by erasing Video
mode or original titles. The effect differs
depending on the disc type and location of the title,
as follows.
Note
For DVD+RWs and DVD-RWs (VR mode), the disc’s
available capacity may not display correctly. The
recorder displays only the available capacity after the last
title on the disc.
Edits for Playlist titles
For DVD-RWs (VR mode), you can edit a Playlist
while retaining original titles (actual recordings on
the disc). A Playlist is a group of Playlist titles
created from the original title for editing purposes.
When you create a Playlist, only the control
information necessary for playback, such as the
playback order, is stored on the disc. Since the
original titles are left unaltered, Playlist titles can
be re-edited.
Example: You have recorded the final few
matches of a football tournament on a DVD-RW
(VR mode). You want to create a digest with the
goal scenes and other highlights, but you also want
to keep the original recording.
