About Created Video DVDs

Titles and chapters

The contents of a DVD consist of sections, called titles, and smaller sub- sections, called chapters. When you create a video DVD with the DVDirect, titles and chapters are created as follows:

For discs created through normal video recording or recording from DV camcorders connected via DV (i.LINK) cable

Titles are created between the points where you start and stop a recording on the DVDirect.

Chapters are created according to the [Auto Chaptering] setting configured in the Setup menu (page 63).

For discs created through recording from HDD or DVD camcorders connected via USB cable

Titles are created at points in the video where the date recorded, REC mode (from HQ or SP to LP or vice versa), and aspect ratio (from 4:3 to 16:9 or vice versa) change.

Chapters are created for each scene taken with the HDD or DVD camcorder. (Scenes are created each time recording is started and then stopped.)

Note

Up to 49 titles per disc and 99 chapters per title can be created. This number may decrease depending on the quality of the videos.
