Record to and from a DV camcorder

This recorder has a built-in DV (Digital Video) input/ output jack for connection to a DV camcorder. This makes it ideal for transferring camcorder footage to DVD for editing. You can also transfer DVD content back to the camcorder if you need to.

• Safe, non-destructive editing

When you edit a DVD-RW, the actual content of the disc (the Original content) is not touched. The edited version (the Play List content) just points to various parts of the Original content.

• Chapter marking

You can easily add chapter markers anywhere in your recordings for easy editing.
