CAPTURING SCENES ON DVD-RAM/DVD-RW (VR-MODE) INTO PC
You can capture scenes recorded on a DVD-RAM/DVD-RW (VR-mode) into the hard disk (HDD) of
PC, using either of the following methods:
Capturing in DVD-VR format:
You can perform playback and simple editing using the DVD-MovieAlbumSE HDD mode, and use
the DVD-MovieAlbum copy tool to copy scenes to another DVD-RAM/DVD-RW (VR-mode) disc.
Capturing in MPEG2 file format:
You can use a file captured in the MPEG2 file format to create a DVD video on DVDfunSTUDIO, or
use the file with on generally available software that conforms to MPEG2 file (no playback or editing
of MPEG2 file is possible on DVD-MovieAlbumSE provided with this DVD video camera/recorder).
●To capture in DVD-VR format

recorder in which a DVD-RAM/DVD-RW
(VR-mode) is loaded.
2 Start up the DVD-MovieAlbumSE copy tool.

Then click “Choose Title” to choose the title to

A folder called DVD_RTAV will be created in

After capturing scenes in the DVD-VR

MovieAlbum copy tool to copy the scenes to
another DVD-RAM/DVD-RW (VR-mode).
Note:
• The DVD-VR format data copied to PC will be stored
in a folder called DVD_RTAV. If you delete or modify
any files in DVD_RTAV folder using Explorer, etc., the
folder will become unusable on DVD-MovieAlbumSE.
• If “Entire Disc” is not specified for “Choose Title” in
step 3, the data on play list, or the JPEG files
conforming to DCF standard that were copied to HDD,
will not be copied.
• If, when choosing the copy destination (HDD folder) in
step 3, a DVD_RTAV folder already exists in HDD
folder, no copying can be done to the folder: Choose
a different folder.
• If, when copying an entire DVD-RAM/DVD-RW (VR-
mode), the disc has a folder or file that conforms to
the DCF standard, a message for verifying the copy of
such data to HDD will appear after the data
conforming to the video recording format are copied.
