About Editing

Content that can be edited and editing operations vary
according to the recording mode.

Recordings on DVD-RW in VR mode

You can do various types of editing with this Recorder alone.
For example it is possible to create a compilation of your
favorite videos by gathering your favorite scenes from
recorded titles, moving scenes within a specified range, or
erasing unnecessary scenes. You can edit original videos
you have recorded into a Play List without changing the
content of the original videos.
NOTE
• If disc protection is set for a DVD-RW, it cannot be edited.
• If title protection is set, the only editing which can be done
is MOVE TITLE.
ORIGINAL
• A recorded video (title) in as is form is called an ORIGI-
NAL. A single recording (from record start to stop) forms a
single title.
PLAY LIST
• A title created by editing based on originals is called a
PLAY LIST. A play list can be remade any number of
times.

NOTE
Editing cannot be done in the following cases.
• Play Lists cannot be created for discs recorded in Video
mode.
• Play Lists cannot be created for recordings on DVD-R.
• Finalized DVD-RWs (Video mode) cannot be edited.
(Editing can be enabled by canceling finalization.)
NOTE
• A Play List is a list which describes the playback se-
quence of originals, and it does not actually copy the
originals. This makes it possible to perform editing while
using only a little disc space.

Recordings on DVD-RW/R in Video

mode

The following content can be edited.
• Input (change) title name (page 62)
• Erase title (page 67)
NOTE
• ERASE TITLE for a recording in Video mode will change
settings so that the “erased” title cannot be seen in the
REC LIST, but this does not mean that the video is actually
erased. (Free time on the disc will not increase. With a
DVD-RW recorded in Video mode, free time on the disc
will increase when the title recorded last is erased.)
• Editing is not possible if the disc has been finalized (page
84). With a DVD-RW, editing is possible again if finalization
is canceled.
• Additional recording and editing can be done using only
this Recorder until the disc is finalized.
