Disc-related terms

DVD +R (Double Layer) Double layer recording technology offers two recordable layers on a single DVD disc, providing nearly double the capacity of 4.7GB single layer DVDs. The greatest, most valuable benefit of double layer recording technology is increased capacity. Storage space is nearly doubled with double layer DVD+R media, allowing consumers to burn up to 8.5GB of video on a single DVD+R disc. DVD R / DVD RW DVD -R and DVD +R are two different standards for recordable DVD drives and discs. This format allows information to be recorded onto the DVD disc only once. DVD +RW and DVD -RW are two standards for re-writable media, meaning the DVD content can be erased and re-recorded. Single-sided discs can hold 4.38 Gigabytes and double-sided discs hold twice as much. VCD (Video CD) A VCD holds up to 74 minutes (650 MB disc) or 80 minutes (700 MB disc) of MPEG-1 full-motion video along with quality stereo sound. MPEG MPEG is an international standard for video and audio compression. MPEG-1 is used in encoding video for VCD and provides for multichannel surround sound coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio. MP3 MP3 is a popular compression format used for digital audio files that yields very high near-CD quality. WMA Windows media audio file. A type of coding / decoding developed by Microsoft Corp. JPEG Joint Pictures Expert Group. JPEG is a compressed file format that allows you to save images with no limit on the number of colors. DivX DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codec which is based on the new MPEG-4 compression standard for video.You will be able to play DivX movies using this recorder.
PBC: Playback Control (Video CD only) Playback control is available for Video CD (VCD) version 2.0 disc formats. PBC allows you to interact with the system via menus, search functions, or other typical computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures of high resolution can be played if they are included in the disc. Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1) operate in the same way as audio CDs. Title (DVD video discs only) A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc. For example the main feature could be title 1, a documentary describing how the film was made could be title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title is assigned a reference number enabling you to locate it easily. Chapter (DVD video discs only) A chapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chapters may not be recorded. Scene (VCD) On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called scenes. Each scene is displayed in the menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling you to locate the scene you want. A scene is composed of one or several tracks. Track A distinct element of audiovisual information, such as the picture or sound track for a specific language (DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you to locate the track you want. DVD discs allow one track of video (with multiple angles) and several tracks of audio.

Title List and Chapter List Menu Overview
Using the Title List menu you can edit video content. The editing features available in the Title List menu depend on whether you are editing video on DVD, or the HDD, and whether youre editing Original content, or a Playlist. There are two ways to edit VR mode DVD-RW discs. You can directly edit the Original content of the disc, or you can create and edit a Playlist. The Playlist doesnt actually change any of the content on the disc, but just controls how the content is played back. Editing material recorded on the HDD is similar to editing the Original content of a VR mode DVD-RW, with similar commands for erasing and naming titles, as well as fine control over the content of chapters within titles for DVD disc. Note: During recording, if you display the Title List menu for the HDD, some of the titles may appear with a mark. These titles were recorded with a Line Input setting different to the current setting of the recorder. During recording, these titles cannot be played. 1. Press MENU/LIST to display the Title List menu. Playback should be stopped when you do this. You can also access it using HOME menu, select [TITLE LIST] option then press ENTER.

Editing

HDD, VR Mode: Original and Playlist Editing
Titles, Chapters and Parts
Titles in the discs original content contain one or more chapters. When you insert a discs title into the Playlist, all the chapters within that title also appear. In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exactly as chapters on a DVD-Video disc do. Parts are sections of Original or Playlist titles. From the Original and Playlist menu you can add or delete parts. Adding a chapter or title to the Playlist creates a new title made up of a section (ie., chapter) of an Original title. Deleting a part removes part of a title from the Original or Playlist menu. Caution When editing using the Delete, Add and Move functions, the start and end frames may not be exactly as set in the start and end point display. During Playlist playback, you may notice a momentary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.

Restrictions on copying

Some video material is copy-once protected. This means that it can be recorded to HDD, but it cannot then be freely copied again. If you want to transfer copy-once protected material from HDD to DVD, youll need to use a VR mode DVD-RW disc compatible with CPRM Ver. 1.1, and the following restrictions apply: After copying a copy-once protected title to DVD it is automatically erased from the HDD. It is not therefore possible to copy a locked title that is copy-once protected. You can identify copy-once protected material during playback by displaying disc information on-screen. A media in NTSC format cannot be copied.

Fast copying

Copying between DVD and HDD is a completely digital process and therefore involves no loss of quality in the audio or video. This means that you can transfer back and forth without having to worry about the quality getting worse with each copy generation. It also means that copying can be carried out at the maximum speed possible. When copying from HDD to DVD, the speed of copying depends on the recording mode and the kind of DVD disc youre using.

What is CPRM?

CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble system) only allowing the recording of copy once broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media. This Recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Any edited contents of the DVD+R disc are not compatible on regular DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter mark, etc.) How long finalization takes depends on the type of disc, how much is recorded on the disc, and the number of titles on the disc. DVD+R DL disc can take up to 30 minutes to finalize.
