Making your edits DVD-compatible

If one or more titles have been edited (see ‘Favourite Scene Selection’), then the edits will play on your DVD recorder, but a DVD player may show the original versions instead of the edits. You can prepare your DVD+RW discs so that also a DVD player will show the edited version. This is not possible with DVD+R discs.

•If the Disc Settings menu shows the option ‘Make edits DVD compatible’, select this option. If the menu does not show this option, then your DVD+RW disc is already compatible, and no conversion is needed.

Favourite Scene Selection

The basic function of any edit operations is to improve accessibility and handling of your recordings. For instance: scenes you do not want to see during playback (e.g. commercials during a movie) can be marked as chapters and made hidden. During playback you will see your recording without the hidden chapters as one sequence.

Note:

In between the scenes the picture may freeze for a short moment.

Each title consists of chapters. With the FSS menu any chapter can be made hidden or made visible again. Normally, during recording, chapter markers are inserted automatically every five to six minutes (this setting can be changed in the record settings menu). After the recording is finished, you can manually add and remove chapter markers via the FSS menu. Both automatically generated and manually inserted chapter markers can be removed.

After editing, the modified version of a title is the default playback version. The original can be accessed via the ‘Play full title’ option in the title settings menu. Other DVD players may still play the original. To guarantee that the edited version will play on these DVD players, choose ‘Make edits DVD-compatible’ in the disc settings menu (only available on DVD+RW discs).
