DVD±RW discs recording
The total time recordable on a DVD±RW
In addition, the maximum file size is fixed at 2GB. This means that the maximum recording time per track also varies according to the sampling frequency.
All audio files must be at least four seconds in length.

HD recording
The total time recordable on the HD is significantly longer than the time recordable on a DVD±RW disc. However, the maximum file length on the HD is the same as for a DVD±RW disc. There is a limit to the recording time for each project.
All audio files on the HD must be at least four seconds in length.
The following recording times are estimates. You can- not extend the recording time beyond the maximum time specified for each project.
