Recording 05 Chapter 5 Recording About DVD recording This recorder can record to DVD-R, DVDRW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL media. DVD-R and DVD-RW discs can be initialized for Video mode or VR mode recording. Each has its advantages, and it depends on what you want to do with the recording which mode you choose. If you want to edit your recordings in any significant way, VR mode offers greater possibilities for cutting, copying, and changing the way the video is presented. Video mode is less flexible when it comes to editing, but it has the advantage that it is compatible with standard DVD players (many of which won't play VR mode discs1). Once a disc is initialized for a particular mode, all recording on that disc will be in that mode. DVD+RW discs can be initialized for +VR mode recording. DVD-RAM discs can be initialized for VR mode recording. DVD+R discs do not require initializing. Important The table below shows the maximum number of titles recordable per disc and the maximum number of chapters per title: Disc type/rec. format DVD-R/-RW Video mode Max. titles (per disc) Max. chapters (per title) 99 99 DVD-R/-RW/-RAM 99 VR mode 999*1 DVD+R/+RW 49 99*2 *1 A maximum of 999 chapters are recordable per disc. *2 A maximum of 254 chapters are recordable per disc. • This recorder cannot play or record unfinalized DVD-R/-RW (Video mode) and DVD+R discs recorded on another recorder. DVD+RW discs recorded on another recorder are playable on this recorder but are not recordable. • The maximum continuous recording time for one title is eight hours when using a DVD+R/+RW disc. • If you delete a title from a DVD+R/+RW disc, the total number of recordable titles remaining may not increase. • Although this recorder can record PAL-N, NTSC and PAL-M, you can't mix multiple TV line systems on one disc. A disc can contain PAL-N recordings, or NTSC and PAL-M. See also Additional information about the TV system settings on page 114. Note 1 Some DVD players, such as some Pioneer models, are compatible with VR mode discs. Check the operating 33 instructions for your player for VR mode compatibility information. En
