VF (Video) mode

One of two modes for using a DVD-RW disc.

You need to finalize a DVD-RW disc in VF mode before playing it back on another device. After finalizing, you cannot make additional recordings on the DVD-RW disc, regardless of its free space. The advantage of VF mode is that it is highly compatible with other DVD players.

VR mode

One of two modes for using a DVD-RW disc.

The advantage of VR mode is that you can edit (split, delete, and combine) movies using the camcorder, and, by deleting unnecessary scenes, you can free up space for more recording.
