No. When you edit a video tape you need one video deck to play the original tape and another to record the edits. With DVD, you edit by making a ‘Playlist’ of what to play and when to play it. On playback, the Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.
Adding Chapter Markers

You can create chapters within a title by inserting chapter marks at the desired points.
Note:
Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals automatically. You can change this interval from the Initial Setup menu (see [Auto Chapter] on page 23).
