You can record the entire contents of a DV/ Digital8 format tape onto a disc with a single press of the ONE-TOUCH DUB button on the recorder. The recorder controls the digital video camera for the whole process, and completes the recording.

How chapters are created

The contents dubbed to DVD become a single title. When “Auto Chapter” of “Features” setup is

set to “On,” this title is divided into chapters.	DV
	Dubbing
When dubbing a DVD-RW (VR mode), each
shooting session on the tape becomes a chapter on
the disc. For other discs, the recorder divides the
title into chapters at approximately 6-minute
intervals.

Follow steps 1 to 5 of “Preparing for DV dubbing” on page 64, and press ONE-TOUCH DUB on the recorder.
