Rec Mode Conversion Dubbing

n

/

/

Allows you to dub from the HDD to a DVD

or vice versa, in a dubbing mode that differs

from the original recordings. For example,

when you dub an HQ title (data size is large)

in SP mode, you can reduce the data size,

saving more titles using less space.

Select a mode different from the original

recording in “Dub Mode” in the steps of

“Dubbing a single title (Title Dubbing)”

(page 73) or “Dubbing multiple titles (Dub

Selected Titles)” (page 74). When dubbing

multiple titles, all of the selected titles will be

recorded in same recording mode.

z

Hint

Dubbing in the recording mode of the source title

smoothes out the “seams” that are left over from

editing.

Notes

•

For a title whose picture size (16:9 or 4:3) is

mixed:

– When dubbed from the HDD to DVD-RWs/

DVD-Rs (Video mode), the picture size is

determined by the setting in “DVD Rec. Picture

Size” (page 46).

– When dubbed from the HDD to DVD-RWs/

DVD-Rs (Video mode) in LP, EP or SLP mode,

the picture size is always 4:3.

– When dubbed from HDD to DVD+RW or

DVD+R, the picture size is always 4:3.

•

The picture quality will not improve even if a title

is converted to a recording mode of better picture

quality.

Dubbing restriction

You cannot dub movies and other DVD

VIDEOs to the HDD. Also, when dubbing

from a DVD to the HDD, a gray, blank screen

will be recorded for scenes that contain a

copy protection signal.

* CPRM-compatible DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs (VR

mode) only

CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable

Media) is a coding technology that protects

copyrights for images.

Move

,

Titles containing “Copy-Once” copy

protection signals can be moved only from

HDD to DVD-RW/DVD-R (VR mode)*

(after the title is moved, the original title in

the HDD is erased). The “Move” function is

performed using the same procedure as

dubbing (page 73). Titles containing “Copy-

Once” copy protection signals are indicated

with

b

Notes

•

The following titles in the HDD cannot be moved.

– Protected titles

– Playlist titles

– Original titles referenced from the playlist

•

When dubbing (Move) is stopped partway, no

part of the title will be moved to the dubbing

target. However, note that this will decrease the

free disc space for DVD+Rs/DVD-Rs.

•

Even if you erase a scene that contains a copy

protection signal, the recording restrictions on

that title are retained.

* CPRM-compatible DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs (VR

mode) only.
