Editing Before editing Be sure to read before performing any editing. For better use the HDD of this recorder When you save necessary scenes from recorded contents, it may not be a good method to delete unnecessary portions from a recorded title in the HDD, then copy the remainder to a DVD-RAM disc. Repeating this method increases blank spaces in the HDD, on which contents will be recorded discontinuously (fragmentation in the HDD), resulting in slowdown of the system or incomplete deleting operation, in the worst case, the system may refuse any commands for play or recording, to protect the damaged HDD.
Page 87: Editing On This Recorder
Editing on this recorder Basic steps of editing Creating chapters Programming a Playlist Editing is executed by a title and a chapter. Titles and chapters are classified into “Original” and “Playlist.” First, specify a desired scene by dividing a title (Original) into chapters. Then compile the necessary chapters (Original) in desired order by programming a Playlist.
Page 88 Editing Before editing (Continued) Compile chapters in a desired order. You can select any chapter or order of chapters, as you want. Also you can assign a title to multiple chapters. Each element to be compiled is called a part. In the example to the right, the three chapters in Wednesday, Friday, and Monday are the parts.
Page 89 Make the compiled chapters into a title (Original). (Dubbing) If you just want to play the compiled chapters in desired order, you only play the Playlist. If you want to delete a title (Original) which contains unnecessary chapters, be sure to dub (copy) the Playlist and make it into a title (Original).
Page 90: Creating Chapters
Editing DVD-RAM Creating chapters A recording makes 1 title, which includes 1 chapter. By dividing it into several chapters, it will be easier to access a desired scene, and your editing or playback will be much easier. To create chapters in a title, insert a chapter mark.
