DV Edit

Only one i.LINK cable is required to transfer contents from a digital video camera to the DVD recorder. Since the recorder controls the digital video camera, dubbing and editing are easy to perform.

Dubbing

One Touch Dubbing function (page 61)

One press on the ONE TOUCH DUB button is enough to complete the procedure. The recorder controls the digital video camera from start to finish — from playing the DV/Digital8 format tape to stop and rewind. The entire tape contents are dubbed to a DVD in the process.

Program Edit (page 62)

This function allows you to select scenes on a DV/Digital8 format tape and save them on recordable DVDs, including non- rewritable DVD-Rs. The recorder controls the digital video camera to record the contents of a DV/Digital8 format tape to the disc as programmed. The recorder will remember which scenes you selected and saves this information as a program. You can call up a program at any time and make additional copies of the program to blank DVDs.

Advanced Program Edit (page 64)

This function takes advantage of a DVD’s random access capabilities to enable fast and flexible editing.

The recorder copies the entire contents of a DV/Digital8 format tape to a DVD-RW in VR mode, whereupon the contents are automatically divided into chapters. The chapters are displayed as scenes in a scene list where you can instantly delete or rearrange the scenes at will. The recorder remembers which scenes you selected, and saves this information as a program. You can call up a program at any time and make additional copies of the program to a blank DVD.

Auto Scene Chaptering (DVD-RW in VR mode only) (page 62)

While copying a DV/Digital8 format tape to a DVD-RW, the recorder automatically inserts chapter marks at each point where you started recording on your digital video camera. This enables you to quickly find the scenes you want during playback and editing.
