This is a format for recording on DVD discs which allows you to record and erase repeatedly and create playlists. You can record on DVD-RAM and DVD-RW discs in VR format with this unit. What is the Video format (DVD-Video format)? By finalizing the disc, it can be played back on most DVD players. You can record on DVD-RW and DVD-R/ DVD-R DL discs in Video format with this unit. ∫ About DVD-R DL (Dual Layer) disc DVD-R DL (Dual Layer) discs have two layers of recording/playback surface on one side. If the first layer (L0) becomes full during recording, the recording continues uninterrupted on the second layer (L1). However, the recording is divided into 2 scenes at the point where the layers switch. This unit automatically switches layers during disc playback so you can play the whole of the disc continuously like a normal disc. However, the picture or the sound momentarily stops at the point where the layers switch. ∫ Examples of discs that cannot be used on this unit ≥ Discs other than those with diameter of 8 cm (3z) ≥ Double layer discs other than DVD-R DL ≥ Blu-ray Disc ≥ CD-RW ≥ HD DVD ≥ CD-R ≥ iRW ≥ CD-ROM ≥ iR ≥ CD ≥ iR DL ≥ DVD-ROM ≥ DVD-Video 22 LSQT1319
