The Advantages of DVDs
RECORDING
With a DVD you just press the recording start/ stop button and the camcorder will find the empty space on the disc ( 
22). Don’t waste time fast forwarding and rewinding a tape to find from where to start a new recording.
Never worry about mistakenly recording over a precious memory!
PLAYING
Just select a scene from the index screen!
Just insert your finalized* disc into a DVD player and immediately find the scene you want to play back from the index (
26). No need to play the whole thing or run the tape forward and back to find that scene you want.
*Finalization is a process required to make the DVD discs you recorded playable on common DVD players (
59).
