Limitations • Clips of duration of 1 second or less cannot be played seamlessly. • Seamless playback may not be possible, depending on the data quantity, recording state, and buffering state in the vicinity of the clip end point. • Seamless playback is not possible if the playback start position or playback mode change position occurs within 1 second prior to the playback end point. • A region between an IN point and OUT point may not be played seamlessly, depending on the format of the clip. • If frame advance or frame reverse operation is initiated just before switching files, file switching may occur and playback will move to the start of the next file. • Seamless playback is not supported on media in devices, such as the PDW-U2, where a finite time is required to switch between files.
