An Introduction to DVDs
DVD discs are available in various types and two sizes (12 cm and 8cm discs). This
camcorder uses the following types
of commercially available 8cm mini DVD discs:
DVD-R (one disc supplied with the camcorder), DVD-R DL* or DVD-RW discs.
@Choose the Disc Type...
~ DVD·R
Discs can be recorded
only once. Recordings
cannot be edited or
deleted.
~ DVD·R DL*
Discs can be recorded
only once. Recordings
cannot be edited or
deleted.
~DVD·RW
Discs can be initialized or
recordings can be
deleted to allow the discs
to be recorded over
numerous times.
@ ... and the Disc Specification
VIDEO Mode
(only)
Once finalized, DVD-R
discs recorded in VIDEO
mode can be played back
in most common DVD
players.
*DL -Dual Layered.
**VR -Video Recording.
VIDEO Mode
(only)
DVD-R DL* discs can
only be played back with
DVD players capable of
reading dual-layered
DVD discs.
VIDEO Mode
Once finalized, discs
recorded
in VIDEO mode
can be played back
in
mos't common DVD
players. However,
in
VIDEO mode recordings
cannot be edited.
or

L--.-= _---=c -.-. __ ~---------

-----------------------------------. ....
Best for Compatibility
• Available disc specifications: VIDEO mode only.
• Reusability: Disc can be used only once. Recordings cannot be edited or deleted.
• Finalization: Once finalized, additional recordings cannot be made.
• Compatibility: Afinalized DVD-R can be played back on most DVD devices.
DVD-R discs recorded
in VI DEO mode offer the best compatibility with external
DVD devices.
DVD-R DL Best for Recording Time
Dual-layered discs allow writing up to 80% more data (2.6 GB) on asingle
recording side according to DVD Forum specifications. Dual layered discs have two
recording layers on asingle recording side. The camcorder will record on the first
layer until it
is full and then continue on the second layer (as aseparate scene).
• Available disc specifications: VIDEO mode only.
• Reusability: Disc can be used only once. Recordings cannot be edited or deleted.
• Finalization: Once finalized, additional recordings cannot be made. To finalize a
dual layered disc the camcorder has to process both layers. Therefore, and
depending on the amount
of free space on the disc, this process may be lengthy.
• Compatibility: Afinalized DVD-R DL can only be played back on DVD devices
compatible with dual layered discs.
•During the playback
of arecording spanning
both layers, you may notice abrief stop at the
point where the camcorder switches from Layer 1
to Layer
2.
DVD-RW Best for Reusability
• Available disc specifications: VIDEO mode or VR mode.
[VIDEO]: Offers ahigher compatibility with external DVD devices. However, correct
playback cannot
be guaranteed with all external DVD devices.
[VR]: Offers easy editing
of the recordings with the camcorder.
• Reusability: Recordings can be deleted or the disc can be initialized in orderto use
it multiple times or to change the disc specification. Note that initializing adisc will
erase, all the recordings on the disc.
• Finalization: Even after aDVD-RW disc is finalized, additional recordings can be
made. The way to do it depends on the disc specification used.
[VIDEO]:
You will need to unfinalize the disc first.
[VR]: You can record additional scenes even without unfinalizing the disc.
• Compatibility: The compatibility of the disc depends on the disc specification used.
[VIDEO]: Afinalized DVD-RW in VIDEO mode can be played back on most DVD
devices.
[VR]: ADVD-RW in
VR mode can only be played back on DVD devices
compatible with VR mode.
