EnjoyingHigh-DefinitionVideowith
your DVDCamcorder
Recording HD video with your DVD camcorder may seem a bit complicated at first.
Actually, you need to make just two simple choices and you can start recording right
away. The first choice is what disc type - or physical media - to use. The second
choice is what image quality - and disc specification - to use.
Let us walk you through it.
Decide what type of DVDdisc is best for you
There are rnany types of DVD discs but this carncorder uses only the
following three types of 8 cm mini DVD discs: DVD-R, DVD-R DL and
DVD-RW. Read the differences between them and select the disc that best
fits your needs.
DVD-R BestforCompatibility
DVD-Rs can be recorded only once - you cannot edit or delete the recordings. On the
other hand, these discs are comparatively cheaper.
DVD=RDL Bestfor RecordingTime
Dual-layered discs allow writing up to 80% rnore data (approx. 2.6 GB) on a single
recording side. However, you cannot edit or delete the recordings.
Dual-layereddiscs have two recording layers.The
camcorder will record on Layer1 andthen continue to Scene2
J
Layer2. Duringthe playback of a recording spanning _Scene1 _d m
both layers,you may noticea brief stop (about 1 I...............................I_rd %_ce ......
second) at the point wherethe camcorder switches to
the second layen InSDquality the switchto Layer 2
will breakthe recording into 2separate scenes.
DVD-RW BestforReusability
Recordings made on a DVD-RW disc can be edited or deleted. Also, the disc can be
initialized. Initializing a DVD-RW disc clears all the recordings and restores the free
space on the disc to its initial value so you can usethe same disc again.
