VR Mode: Original and Playlist Editing
44
In this section, you will learn about editing DVD-RW
discs in VR Mode.
It is important to understand the difference between
edits to the Original content of the disc and edits to the
Playlist. Edits you make to the Original content of a disc
change the actual content of the disc. For example, if
you erase a title or chapter from the Original content,
that title or chapter is erased from the disc, freeing up
extra recording time.
When you edit the Playlist, however, you are not chang-
ing the content of the disc. For example, when you
erase a title from the Playlist (Program), you are just
telling the DVD Recorder+VCR not to play that title;
nothing is actually erased from the disc.

Titles and Chapters

Titles in the disc’s Original content contain one or more
chapters. When you insert an Original title into the
Playlist (Program), all the chapters within that title also
appear. In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave
exactly as chapters on a DVD disc.
Adding a title or chapter to the Playlist creates a new
title made up of chapters of the Original title. Erasing a
chapter removes that chapter from the Original or
Playlist (Program).
Caution
•When editing using the Erase, Add and Move func-
tions, the start and end frames may not be exactly as
set in the start and end point display.
•During Playlist playback, you may notice a momen-
tary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.

Adding Chapter Markers

You can add a chapter marker anywhere in a Playlist or
Original title during recording or playback.
Once the chapter is marked, you can use the Chapter
Search feature, as well as erase, combine and move
chapters in the Original (Chapter) or Playlist (Chapter)
menu.
You can insert up to 999 chapter markers in both the
Original and Playlist contents.
