Step 5: Editing the recorded disc You will find editing discs a lot easier than a conventional tape, and the recorder offers numerous edit functions, possible only with DVDs. Quick and easy edits on the displayed menu Editing is performed by simply selecting titles and scenes from the displayed menus. Protection of individual titles With conventional VCRs, you had to protect an entire tape to save the recordings from erasure or alteration. This recorder allows you to individually protect recorded titles (except for Playlist titles). With this recorder, you can create a Playlist (playback information) on the same disc, and edit the Playlist without changing the original recording(s). A Playlist does not take up much disc space, and all you need is one recorder and one disc. Example: You have recorded a few football games on a DVD-RW in VR mode. You want to save the original recording, but you also want to create a digest by putting the goal scenes together. In this case, you can create a Playlist by selecting just the goal scenes, leaving the original recording as it is. Edit and save on a single disc - Playlist edit (DVD-RWs in VR mode only) To edit a conventional tape without affecting the original recording, you had to connect another VCR, copy the master tape using the two VCRs and one more tape, and start editing the copied tape. Original Playlist You've got your own DVD! Playing on other DVD equipment For your DVD to play on other equipment, finalizing may be necessary in some cases. If so, finish up all your editing and recording first, and then finalize the disc. When using a DVD-RW in VR mode Although finalizing is generally unnecessary when playing the disc on VR mode compatible equipment, playback on some equipment requires a finalized disc. You can still edit and record on the disc even after finalizing. When using a DVD+RW The recorder automatically finalizes a disc before ejecting it. Finalizing in this case still allows you to further edit or record on the disc. When using a DVD-RW in Video mode The disc needs to be finalized first to enable playback on anything other than this recorder. No more editing or recording can be made on the disc once it has been finalized. To enable recording on the disc again, you will need to format it again. (Reformatting will erase all previous contents.) When using a DVD-R You will need to finalize the disc to play it on equipment other than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on the disc once it has been finalized. 10 DVD Recorder Basics
