Tips

If the total memory size of movies to be burnt by the DISC BURN operation exceeds that of the disc, disc creation stops when the limit is reached. The last movie on the disc may be cut off.

Disc creation time to dub movies to the limit of the disc is about 20 to 60 minutes. It may take more time depending on the recording mode or the number of scenes.

You can play back created discs on a general DVD player. If playback is not possible for any reason, connect the camcorder to the DVD writer, and then play back.

The disc mark appears on the camcorder screen.
