Q4. Why will home DVD Players not playback SVCD Discs.

1、SVCD is not a DVD standard format, so most DVD Players do not support

SVCD Disc playback.

2、Some VCD or DVD Players do not support CD-R disc playback, so it cannot

recognize the CD-R written by the VDR-3000. See the attached VCD/DVD player list for your reference.

Q5. Why will the recorded video not synchronize with it’s audio on playing back? We have evaluated similar conditions on playing back the disc with few Players, but this problem won’t happen on playing back the disc by most famous brand of VCD/DVD player, such as Pioneer, SAMPO, ACER… so it is a VCD/DVD player related compatible problem.

Q6. Why does the VDR-3000 take a much longer time on reading some various Brands of CD-R, CD-R/W discs?

Some CD-R, CD-R/W disc are not fully compatible with the VDR 3000 CD-R/W drive, so it will take a longer time to recognize the new disc or sometimes it will fail. We recommend using the Datavideo specific VDR-1000R CD-R or VDR- 1000R/W CD-R/W disc, which have been verified and approved good quality for VDR-3000.

Q7. Why does the recorded video have some flicking or shifting phenomenon? Most of the root cause is the original video source quality, problems due to too old VHS tape or others. Datavideo manufactures a Time Base Corrector machine TBC-1000 or TBC-3000, which you may use it to correct the unstable video source and color processing (TBC-3000 only).

Q8. Why does recording fail on some discs.

If there are more than 10% recording fail situation, please contact Datavideo for further support.

According to the quality level of CD-R disc manufacture: The “A” grade disc field failure rate is about --- 2% The “B” grade disc field failure rate is about --- 6% The “C” grade disc field failure rate is about --- 10%

So there is the opportunity to have a failure recording due to bad disk.
