Creating a DVD-Video using DVD-R/RW (Continued)

Notes

The number of titles that you can write on a DVD-R/RW disc is limited (99 titles. Each title should have 99 chapters or less). If you have a large number of titles or chapters, you may not be able to write due to the limitation of the DVD specifications. Also, even if the number of titles and chapters is within the limit, you may not be able to write if you have a large number of menu items.

Due to standard differences, the number of chapters and their position may change slightly after DVD-Video creation. (For chapters generated on a DVD-R/RW disc, the same thumbnail for the Original chapter is displayed.)

Due to standard limitation, a DVD-R/RW disc may contain unnecessary scenes after creation.

If you select items of various types of video outputs, aspect ratios or other properties, or if you select an item recorded with different settings, they may be divided into titles. (For titles generated on a DVD-R/RW disc the same thumbnail for the Original title is displayed).

Content based on a complicated PlayList or composed of too many items may not be copied properly.

Copy-once permitted contents cannot be copied to a

DVD-R/RW disc, even if they are recorded onto the HDD

while “DVD compatible mode” is set to “Main” or “SAP” ( page 184).

Content recorded on a recorder other than this recorder (including TOSHIBA products) cannot be copied to a DVD- R/RW disc using High Speed Dubbing. First set “DVD compatible mode” to “Main” or “SAP” and record them onto

the HDD. Then perform “Rate conversion dubbing for

multiple parts” ( page 108) to copy to the HDD.

When a content is recorded with manual rate 1.0 Mbps or 1.4 Mbps and is including a 16:9 picture shape scene, the DVD creation of the content may fail. In this case, set “Set Aspect Ratio” to “4:3 fixed” on the menu “(Option Settings)”.

Even if the title is recorded with “DVD compatible mode” set to “Main” or “SAP”, using a recorder other than this may cause failure when recording to a DVD-R/RW disc.

If the DVD-Video creating fails to be completed, most of the discs cannot be used again.

If an error occurs while a DVD-Video is created, the error

code “ERR-** (** indicates the error code) is shown in

the front panel display of the recorder. ( page 193) To clear this display, press DISPLAY button.

There may be a difference between a specified thumbnail of menu in the DVD-Video creation procedure and the one on displayed in CONTENT MENU.

A chapter menu shows the title name at the top right corner. If you hide the title name, no character appears in this area.
