How
to
Select
a
DVD
Disc
There are many
types
of
DVD
discs
but
this
camcorder
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
.
Best
for
Compatibility
DVD-Rs can
be
recorded only
once
- you cannot edit
or
delete the recordings. On the
other
hand, these
discs
are comparatively cheaper and can be played
back
on
most
DVD players.

Layer

Dual-layered discs allow writing
up
to
80%
more data (approx. 2.6 GB) on a single
recording side. However, you
cannot
edit
or
delete the recordings.
Dual-layered discs have two recording layers. The
camcorder will record
on
layer 1 and then continue to
layer
2.
During the playback of a recording spanning
both layers, you may notice a brief stop (about 1
second) at the point where the camcorder switches to
the second
layer.
The switch to layer 2 will break the
recording into 2 separate scenes.
DVD-RW
Best
for
Reusability
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 use the same
disc
again.
