When you record onto a DVD-RAM disc with a DVD video Recorder, a DVD video camera, computer software that follows the “Video Recording Standards” developed by the DVD Fo- rum, a folder labeled “DVD_RTAV”, in which all the relative video recording standard files are stored, is created. Do not access this folder and the files on a computer.

Some of the files inside this folder exceed 2 GB. Due to limitations in Windows 98, such files cannot be copied and their size may not be displayed correctly.

If any of the files are erased or changed, you may not be able to play the video on a DVD video recorder or with the video software for computers.

To access these files on a computer, use the DVD-MovieAlbum software (See page 96).
