Rec Mode Conversion Dubbing

HDD n +RW / -RWVR /-RWVideo /+R / -RVR /-RVideo

Allows you to dub from the HDD to a DVD or vice versa, in a dubbing mode that differs from the original recordings. For example, when you dub an HQ title (data size is large) in SP mode, you can reduce the data size, saving more titles using less space.

Select a mode different from the original recording in “Dub Mode” in the steps of “Dubbing a single title (Title Dubbing)” (page 85) or “Dubbing multiple titles (Dub Selected Titles)” (page 86). When dubbing multiple titles, all of the selected titles will be recorded in same recording mode.

zHint

Dubbing in the recording mode of the source title smoothes out the “seams” that are left over from editing.

bNotes

•For a title whose picture size (16:9 or 4:3) is mixed:

–When dubbed from the HDD to DVD-RWs/ DVD-Rs (Video mode), the picture size is determined by the setting in “DVD Rec. Picture Size” (page 58).

–When dubbed from the HDD to DVD-RWs/ DVD-Rs (Video mode) in LP, EP or SLP mode, the picture size is always 4:3.

–When dubbed from HDD to DVD+RW or DVD+R, the picture size is always 4:3.

•The picture quality will not improve even if a title is converted to a recording mode of better picture quality.

Dubbing restriction

You cannot dub movies and other DVD VIDEOs to the HDD. Also, when dubbing from a DVD to the HDD, a grey, blank screen will be recorded for scenes that contain a copy protection signal.

Move

HDD , -RWVR /-RVR

Titles containing “Copy-Once” copy protection signals can be moved only from HDD to DVD-RW/DVD-R (VR mode)* (after the title is moved, the original title in the HDD is erased). The “Move” function is performed using the same procedure as dubbing (page 85). Titles containing “Copy- Once” copy protection signals are indicated

with .

bNotes

•The following titles in the HDD cannot be moved.

–Protected titles

–Playlist titles

–Original titles referenced from the playlist

•When dubbing (Move) is stopped partway, no part of the title will be moved to the dubbing target. However, note that this will decrease the free disc space for DVD+Rs/DVD-Rs.

•Even if you erase a scene that contains a copy protection signal, the recording restrictions on that title are retained.

*CPRM-compatible DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs (VR mode) only.
