Settings & Controls for Recording

Title & Chapter Menus

This DVD recorder can automatically create title and chapter menus in response to recording operations and can save these to the disc being recorded.

When the disc is subsequently played, these title and chapter menus can be used to access specific sections of stored video and audio.

When recording is stopped using the STOP button or a similar action (i.e., disc closing), a title number and a thumbnail

(corresponding to the frame at the start of recording) will be created to form part of the disc’s title menu. A single disc can contain

up to 99 different titles.

Similarly, if a chapter mark is inserted during recording, a chapter number and a thumbnail (corresponding to the frame at the

chapter mark) will be created to form part of the title’s chapter menu. Chapter marks are used as targets for skipping during

playback. Each title can contain up to 99 chapters. In addition, indexes will be inserted together with chapters. (Please see page

56 for details on indexes.)

Selecting Styles for Title & Chapter Menu

Each recorded DVD contains title and chapter menus that provide information relating to its titles and chapters.

Whenever recording is carried out, title numbers, chapter numbers, and thumbnails are automatically generated in order to create the title and chapter menus.

Specifically, the frames from the start of individual recordings are used as thumbnails for the title menu.

In a similar way, the frames at which chapter marks have been inserted are used as thumbnails for chapter menus. (These thumbnails may be modified later on.) The title menu will become the top thumbnail of the chapter menu.

The term “style” is used to refer to a combination of thumbnail characteristics for the title and chapter menus. This DVD recorder can store eight different style types, and the DVD MENU screen is used to indicate which of these types is to be used.

This DVD recorder can store a total of six different display patterns for title and chapter menus.

At the time of purchase, this DVD recorder will contain five different template files. Any of the stored display patterns can be selected to change the styles applied to each of the title and chapter menus.

Modifying Chapter Menus

A chapter menu’s display style and thumbnails can be edited at the end of recording (i.e., during title closing); furthermore, titles and comments for the chapter menu can also be input at this time. (EDIT MENU from the DVD MENU screen must be set to ENABLE for this to be possible.) (Page 43)

Modifying the Title Menu

The style used for the title menu and the text input for the title name may both be modified before finalizing is carried out. (EDIT MENU from the DVD MENU screen must be set to ENABLE for this to be possible.) (Page 49)

Notes

Thumbnail of the title menu will be the top thumbnail of the chapter menu.

Once a title is closed, it will no longer be possible to modify the chapter menu.

No modifications whatsoever will be possible when the disc has been finalized.

When a disc is finalized, its title menu will be used to create the top menu.

Thumbnail creation method during wide-signal recording can be selected in THUMBNAIL FORM of the DVD MENU screen.
