Editing recordings

Title List and Chapter List menu overview

Using the Title List menu you can edit video content. The editing features available in the Title List menu depend on whether you are editing video on DVD, and whether you are editing original content or a playlist.

There are two ways to edit VR mode DVD-RWs. You can directly edit the original content of the disc, or you can create and edit a playlist. The playlist does not actually change any of the content on the disc, but just controls how the content is played back.
