BCreating a Video DVD

Creating a Video DVD

You can use the DVDirect as a stand-alone DVD recorder to burn videos directly onto DVDs from a connected HDD, DVD, or DV camcorder or video device such as a VCR or DVR.

You can play the created video DVD on other DVD devices or the DVD drives of computers.

Types of Recording

Five types of recording are available for creating video DVDs: DVD BURN, Full Recording, Incremental Recording, Consolidation Recording, and Normal Video Recording.

DVD BURN (One Touch Recording Through HDD Camcorder Control) (page 28)

This mode allows you to record video from an HDD camcorder onto a disc by simply pressing the DVD BURN button on the camera or Handycam Station (or touching the [DVD BURN] button in the camera’s LCD screen).

The actual recording process is the same as that of Incremental Recording (see below), and you can record additional video onto a disc that has been previously recorded on.

Full Recording (One touch recording) (page 31)

This mode allows you to record video from a digital video camera connected

to the DVDirect with a single touch of the (Record) button onto a DVD. The video is recorded as follows:

The entire video content of the camera is recorded onto a disc. (Several discs may be required depending on the length of the video.)
