∫About format types
≥If a disc is recorded in VR format, the data can be exported on a computer.
∫About DVD-R DL (Dual Layer)
DVD-R DL (Dual Layer) discs have two layers of recording/playback surface on one side.
If the first layer (L0) becomes full during recording, the recording continues uninterrupted on the second
layer (L1). However, the recorded picture is divided into 2 scenes at the point where the layers switch.
The unit automatically switches layers during disc playback so you can play the whole of the disc
continuously like a normal disc. However, the image or sound momentarily stop at the point where the
layers switch.
