Video Clip Management and Disc Authoring Procedure

When recording to either disc or hard disk drive (HDD), the PRV-LX1 manages the video recording clips by units of “project.” When creating a disc from clips recorded on HDD, this project unit is used to perform the disc recording.

A project is composed of individual recorded video clips (video data); while on the HDD, clips can be subjected to simple editing processes (trimming, chapter marking and clip dividing), and editing of the clip selections and their order can also be performed when recording from the HDD to DVD.

7In principle, video data recorded in a unit lasting from REC start to REC stop is recorded on the HDD or DVD disc as a single unit called a video file (clip or title). Chapter marking can also be performed during recording.

7Following recording of the video signal, items which can be set or changed, together with disc production procedures, are noted below:

When recording to DVD disc:

1Settable items: Disc menu setting

Disc program setting

2Disc creation flow:

Video image recording = Disc setting = Finalize

A disc created on the PRV-LX1 that contains many titles may take dozens of seconds to recognize when loaded. The DISC indicator flashes and the disc recording and playback cannot be started during disc recognition.

When recording to HDD:
