VR Mode: Original and Playlist Editing
Titles, Chapters and Parts
Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or more chapters. When you add a disc’s title into the Playlist, all the chapters within that title also added. In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exactly as chapters on original content. From the Original and Playlist menu you can add or delete parts. Adding a chapter or title to the Playlist creates a new title made up of a section (ie., chapter) of an Original title. Deleting a part removes part of a title from the Original or Playlist menu.
>>Caution
yy When editing using the Delete, Add and Move functions, the start and end frames may not be exactly as set in the start and end point display.
yy During Playlist playback, you may notice a momentary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.
Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?
No. When you edit a video tape you need one video deck to play the original tape and another to record the edits. With DVD, you edit by making a ‘Playlist’ of what to play and when to play it. On playback, the Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.
About word ‘Original’ and ‘Playlist’
-RWVR
Throughout this manual, you will often see the words Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and the edited version.
yy Original: content refers to what’s actually recorded on the disc.
yy Playlist: content refers to the edited version of the disc — how the Original content is to be played.
Making a New Playlist
-RWVR
Use this function to add an Original title or chapter to the Playlist. When you do this, the whole title or chapter are put into the Playlist (you can delete bits you don’t need later - see [Deleting an Original or Playlist title/chapter] on page 54).
The title appears in the Playlist complete with the chapter markers that appear in the Original. However, if you add more chapter markers to the Original later, these are not automatically copied over into the Playlist title.
