Title Editing / Chapter Editing

While playing back the selected clip, use the SELECT button on the displayed control bar to designate the point at which you wish to divide the clip. Clip division will begin when the SAVE button is pressed, and when completed, the display will return to the Function Menu. If the CANCEL button is pressed instead, the clip division will be canceled and the display will return to the Function Menu.

When beginning the division, you may select whether to overwrite the divided clip, or save it as a new clip. When dividing a clip, the hard disk drive must have available space exceeding the size of the clip before division. When a clip is divided, a “1-” and “2-” will be affixed to the heads of the clip names. If, as a result of affixing the numeral (“1-”, etc.), the clip name exceeds 32 single-byte characters, the final character of the name will automatically be deleted so as to keep the name within the 32-character limit. Following division, if the pre-edit clip was recorded as a title, the divided clip will replace it; if the pre-edit clip was not recorded as a title, the post-edit clip will not be recorded as a title. A clip cannot be divided if the disc already holds 99 titles. If necessary, use the “Title Order Edit” command (see next section) to delete unnecessary titles before adding new titles.

Note 1:

The division point can be set only at the head of a group of pictures (GOP) (NTSC=15, PAL=12 frame units).

Note 2:

Once divided, a clip cannot be rejoined.

Title Order Edit

In the DVD-Video format, the number of possible titles per disc is limited to 99. The projects created on this recorder, however, are capable of managing more than that number of clips. Fundamentally, the title numbers from 1 to 99 correspond to the clips in the order in which they are recorded, but beyond 99, the clips are not allocated to titles.

Using the Function Menu’s EDIT section = [Title]

=[Title Selection] command, before final recording on the DVD disc, the clips can be allocated to a title in an order differing from that in which they were recorded.

EDIT section = [Title] = [Title Selection]

DVD Disc Emulation

The DVD disc emulation allows you to confirm the results of editing before recording those results to the final DVD disc. When the Disc Emulation button on the EDIT section = [Title] command is pressed, DVD menu editing, title editing and other editing results can be played back in the same form as they would be recorded on DVD disc. Following playback, the screen returns to the Function Menu. When the FUNCTION button is pressed, the display returns to the Function Menu.
