Editing

Editing improves accessibility and handling of your recordings. For instance; scenes you do not want to see during playback (e.g. commercials during a movie) can be marked as chapters and hidden. During playback you will watch your recording without the hidden chapters.

Note:

The picture may freeze briefly between scenes.

Each title consists of chapters.With the Edit menu, any chapter can be hidden or made visible. Normally during recording, chapter markers are inserted automatically every five to six minutes. (This setting can be changed in the record settings menu. See ‘User preferences - Record Settingss - Auto chapters.’) After the recording is finished, you can manually add and remove chapter markers via the Edit menu. Both automatically generated and manually inserted chapter markers can be removed.

After editing, the modified version of a title is the default playback version.The original can be accessed via the ‘Play full title’ option in the title settings menu. Other DVD

players may still play the original.To guarantee that the edited version will play on these DVD players, choose ‘Make edits DVD-compatible’ in the disc settings menu.
