Essential Information

If the disc format is Video Recording format, the recording mode for the disc is referred to as „VR mode“. However, the recording mode of a Video format disc is referred to as „Video mode“ (Excep- tion: a prerecorded DVD-Video disc which is not recordable has no recording mode).

The recording modes determine the recording and editing options for the whole disc. Amongst other things they determine the picture quality and how much space the recording will take up on the disc.

Notes on Recording

The displayed recording time is not exact as the recorder uses variable bit-rate video compres- sion. This means that the exact recording time will depend on the material that is being recorded.

When recording a television broadcast the recording time may be shorter if the reception is poor or the picture contains interference.

If you record only still pictures or audio, the recording time may be shorter.

The displayed recording time and remaining time may not always add up to the total length of the disc.

The available recording time may be shorter fol- lowing intensive editing of the disc.

If you use a DVD-RW disc, make sure you select the recording format (Video mode or VR mode) before you start recording. See page 25 (Format- ting) for more information.

If you use a DVD-R disc you can continue recording until the disc is full or until you finalize it. Before you start recording check how much recording time is available on the disc.

If you use a DVD-RW disc in Video mode, the available recording time will increase if you delete the last title recorded on the disc.

The „Delete Title“ function in the „Title List- Original“ menu only hides the title, it does not however delete it from the disc and does not therefore increase the recording time (except if you delete the last recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode).

Overwrite recording is only possible on DVD+RW discs.
