Before you start

•Do I need two DVD recorders for editing? What kind of editing can I do?

Unlike editing video tape, you only need one DVD recorder to edit discs. With DVD, you edit by making a ‘Play List’ of what to play and when to play it. On playback, the recorder plays the disc according to the Play List.
