Editing 07 Chapter 7 Editing Editing the disc This section explains how to edit the recorded contents on DVD-RWs. However, the items that you can edit vary with the recording formats. In VR mode, you can edit various title menus, whereas in Video mode, you can edit only a few items. Title menu For the disc in VR mode, when the content is recorded, a title name that includes the date, time, channel number and other information is created automatically. For the disc in Video mode, when you record a content first time on the disc where nothing is recorded, the recorded content is automatically set to Title 1. Then, the second recorded content is set to Title 2, and so on. Therefore, the title is numbered according to the recording order. The maximum number of titles per disc is 99. The title menu lists these titles. The title menu can be used when you playback after confirming the contents (see page 34), or when you check the contents recorded on the disc. Original title The titles explained above are called original titles; these will be added with every recording. In VR mode you can do various editing operations - renaming titles, adding chapter marks, etc. In addition, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase the disc space. Playlist You can create a playlist based on the original titles. You can combine or erase undesired scenes. If you create a playlist it will become the primary list used by the disc. If you create a playlist to customize your viewing preferences, and choose to delete it, the original titles will not be affected. It is recommended to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles from being erased accidentally. If you create a playlist, both the original title and playlist will be displayed on the title menu. Editable items The items that can be edited are different between original title and playlist. For the disc in Video mode, only the title name can be edited. The items can be edited in each are as follows: Editing items VR mode Video mode Original Playlist Original Playback Y Y Y Adding chapter mark Y N N Combining chapters Y N N Erasing scenes Y Y N Erasing titles Y Y N Renaming titles Y Y Y Creating playlist Y N N Combining titles N Y N If you finalize the disc in Video mode, the title list will be created and you cannot use the title menu. Note • This unit can not record or edit a disc which was recorded or edited using another DVD recorder. • You cannot edit or record the disc on which disc protection is set. In such a case, be sure to cancel the disc protection (see page 28) before starting the operation. • When a scene has been erased, the selected position for erasing may vary slightly from the actual erased position. 63 En
