Make edits DVD-compatible

If titles have been edited (See ‘Editing’), the edits will play
on your DVD Recorder. However a DVD player may show
the original versions instead of the edits. You can prepare
your discs so that a DVD player will also play the edited
version.
Perform steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 as explained above.
5If the Disc Information Screen shows the option ‘Make
edits DVD-compatible,’ press u (right cursor) to
select this option. If the menu does not show this
option, your disc is already compatible. No conversion
is needed.
6Press ENTER/OK.
➤ The messages ‘This will take ...’ and ‘Press OK to
confirm’ will appear to indicate how long the action
will take.
7Press ENTER/OK again.
➤ ‘Working’ and a progress bar are shown until the
action is completed.
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.
