DVD Recording and Dubbing
Bit-rate Optimizer for HDD to DVD Recording
This system analyzes the content as it is recorded on the HDD and then assigns optimum bit rates low for simple scenes, high for complex scenes to ensure optimum picture quality while calculating disc capacity.
Extended Recording with High Resolution Pictures (DVD-RAM/ DVD-RW/DVD-R VR mode)
Horizontal resolution (lines)
Comparison of Horizontal Resolution
Selectable Recording Times and Data Rates
Depending on the application, the most appropriate recording time and data rate can be selected. Copying of synchronized-edited material from HDD to DVD is normally performed in real time (1x). However, the SR-DVM600 can create copies at eight-times normal speed (8x)*. This means that by copying the synchronized-edited recording first to the DVD-R, then back to the HDD, and finally dubbing it at normal speed, reproduction of DVD discs can be performed up to eight times faster.

*When copied to DVD-R at the maximum recording speed: 64 times in FR480 mode.
250 Horizontal resolution in the LP (4-hour) mode of a conventional DVD recorder is approximately 250 Recording time (hours/disc) lines (1/2D1) but the SR-DVM600 provides more SR-DVM600 Other Manufacturers Model than 350 lines (2/3D1). Content that is longer than 2 hours can be recorded on a disc without any loss in picture quality.
