Editing the disc

Editing the disc

This section explains how to edit the recorded contents on DVD- RWs. However, the items that you can edit vary with the recording formats. In VR mode, you can edit various title menus, whereas in Video mode, you can edit only a few items.

NOTES:

¥This unit may not be able to record or edit a disc which was recorded or edited using another DVD recorder.

¥You cannot edit or record the disc on which disc protection is set. In such a case, be sure to cancel the disc protection (see page 23) before starting the operation.

¥When a scene has been erased, the selected position for erasing may vary slightly from the actual erased position.

Title menu

When the content is recorded, a title name that includes the date, time, channel number and other information is created automatically. The title menu can be used when you playback after confirming the contents (see page 31), or when you check the contents recorded on the disc.

Original title

The titles explained above are called original titles; these will be added with every recording. In VR mode you can do various editing operations i.e., you can rename the titles, or add the chapter marks. In addition, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase the disc space.

Playlist

You can create a playlist based on the original titles. You can combine or erase undesired scenes.

If you create a playlist it will become the primary list used by the disc. If you create a playlist to customise your viewing preferences, and choose to delete it, the original titles will not be affected. It is recom- mended to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles from being erased accidentally.

If you create a playlist, both the original title and playlist will be displayed on the title menu.

Editable items

The items that can be edited are different between original title and playlist. For the disc in Video mode, only the title name can be edited.

The items can be edited in each are as follows:
