Notes on creating video DVDs

•You cannot record videos with copy-protected signals (commercial DVDs, VHS software, some programs from satellite or CATV receivers, etc.).

•You cannot make incremental recordings on discs that have been created using a computer or other DVD recorder.

•When adding video to a video DVD created using a DVD+R disc, you must use the same interface used during the previous recording to connect the video device and the DVDirect. For example, you cannot add video from a DVD camcorder connected via an S-video or video input cable onto a DVD+R disc with video dubbed from a DVD camcorder that was connected via a USB cable.

•When recording video from an HDD camcorder onto a disc, only the video images stored in the camera are available for recording. You cannot record both the video and still images stored in the camera onto a disc at the same time.

•When using a DVD camcorder, recording is not possible when the disc inside the DVD camcorder is a DVD-RW disc with video recorded in DVD-VR format.
