Notes

•It may take some time to save the scene depending on the recording mode (page 32) and the length of the movie.

•You cannot make a copy of an unfinalized disc.

•You cannot copy a DVD-RW recorded in VR mode to a DVD-R. Use another DVD-RW.

•The ACCESS lamp lights up when duplicating a disc. During the duplication, you cannot remove the disc.

•Using DVD-RWs for the copied media prevents you from unfinalizing and making additional recordings on your camcorder because the format of copied media is different from that of your camcorder. You must format the DVD-RW to record additional material on the disc.

Tip

To use the disc with other DVD authoring applications, you must copy movies to your PC using ImageMixer, and have a file exporting procedure available. For details, see the ImageMixer on-line help.
