Editing the disc

Editing the disc

This section explains how to edit the recorded contents on DVD- RWs. However, the items that you can edit vary with the recording formats. In VR mode, you can edit various title menus, whereas in Video mode, you can edit only a few items.

NOTES:

•This unit cannot record or edit a disc which was recorded or edited using another DVD recorder.

•You cannot edit or record the disc on which disc protection is set. In such a case, make sure that the disc protection is cancelled before starting the operation.

•When a scene has been erased, the selected position for erasing may vary slightly from the actual erased position.

Title menu

When the content is recorded, a title name that includes the date, time, channel number and other information is created automatically.

The title menu can be used when you playback after confirming the contents (see page 32), or when you check the contents recorded on the disc.

Original title

The titles explained above are called original titles; these will be added with every recording. In VR mode, you can do various editing opera- tions i.e., you can rename the titles or add the chapter marks. In addi- tion, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase the disc space.

Playlist

You can create a playlist based on the original titles. You can combine or erase undesired chapters.

If you create a playlist, it will become the primary list used by the disc. If you create a playlist to customize your viewing preferences, and choose to delete it, the original titles will not be affected. It is recom- mended to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles from being erased accidentally.

Editable items

The items that can be edited are different between original title and playlist.

The items can be edited in each are as follows:
