Making your edits DVD-compatible

If one or more titles have been edited (see ‘Favourite
Scene Selection’), then the edits will play on your DVD
recorder, but a DVD player may show the original
versions instead of the edits. You can prepare your
DVD+RW discs so that also a DVD player will show the
edited version. This is not possible with DVD+R discs.

l

If the Disc Settings menu shows the option ‘

Make

edits DVD compatible’, select this option. If the
menu does not show this option, then your
DVD+RW disc is already compatible, and no
conversion is needed.

l

Press OK on the remote control to confirm.
‰ The messages ‘

This will take ...’ and ‘Press OK

to confirm’ will appear to indicate how long the
action will take.

l

Press OK on the remote control to confirm.
‰ ‘

Processing...’ and a progress bar are shown

until the action is completed.

Favourite Scene Selection

The basic function of any edit operations is to improve
accessibility and handling of your recordings. For instance:
scenes you do not want to see during playback (e.g.
commercials during a movie) can be marked as chapters
and made hidden. During playback you will see your
recording without the hidden chapters as one sequence.

Note:
In between the scenes the picture may freeze for a short moment.

Each title consists of chapters. With the FSS menu any
chapter can be made hidden or made visible again.
Normally, during recording, chapter markers are inserted
automatically every five to six minutes (this setting can be
changed in the record settings menu). After the recording
is finished, you can manually add and remove chapter
markers via the FSS menu. Both automatically generated
and manually inserted chapter markers can be removed.

After editing, the modified version of a title is the default
playback version. The original can be accessed via the

Play full title’ option in the title settings menu. Other

DVD players may still play the original. To guarantee
that the edited version will play on these DVD players,
choose ‘

Make edits DVD-compatible’ in the disc

settings menu (only available on DVD+RW discs).
