Edit options for DVD-RWs (VR mode)

You have two options for a DVD-RW (VR mode): editing either the original recording (called the “Original”), or the playback information created from the Original (called a “Playlist”). Since each is different in nature and offers different merits, read the following and select the one that better suits your needs.

Editing the “Original”

Basic edit functions available with Originals:

–Labelling a title (page 51).

–Setting protection against erasure (page 51).

–Erasing a title (page 52).

–Erasing multiple titles (page 52).

–Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase) (page 53).

All edits made to the original title are final. If you plan to retain an unaltered original recording, create and edit a Playlist (see below).

The Title List (Original) menu displays all the original titles on the disc.

				7		L3		21:00-21:30		26.10
				8		GHI		10:00-10:30		28.10

Note

Original titles provide a source for the created Playlist. If you use an original title for a Playlist, you will be unable to erase the original title.

Editing the “Playlist”

A Playlist is a group of Playlist titles created from the original title for editing purposes. When you create a Playlist, only the control information necessary for playback, such as the playback order, is stored on the disc.

Example: You have recorded the final few matches of a football tournament on a DVD-RW (VR mode). You want to create a digest with the goal scenes and other highlights, but you also want to keep the original recording.

In this case, you can collect the scenes of the highlights, and create playback information (a Playlist title). You can even rearrange the scene order within the Playlist title.

The above is only an example. Try using the Playlist’s various edit functions, or use them in conjunction with an Original edit. Devise your own ways of editing with Playlists and Originals.

The Title List (Playlist) menu displays the Playlist titles on the disc.
