PRV-9000 FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions)
What type of recordable DVD media is supported on the PRV-9000?
The PRV-9000 DVD-Video Recorder is a DVD-R and DVD-RW device. It can
record on to DVD-R for General (write-once) media or DVD-RW version 1.1 or
higher (re-writable) media.
What type of video formats can be recorded on the PRV-9000?
The PRV-9000 DVD-Video Recorder records two different video formats. It can
record the DVD-Video format onto either DVD-R or DVD-RW media, as per
above. And it can also record the VR (Video Recording) format onto DVD-RW
media.
What is the playback compatibility of the DVD-Video format on DVD-R
media?
Most DVD players and DVD-ROM drives will play DVD-R media. If the
player/drive plays DVD-Video content that has been authored and copied onto
DVD-R media then it will play DVD-Video content that has been recorded and
finalized onto DVD-R media with the PRV-9000.
When addressing playback compatibility there are always two issues to consider:
1) will the device play the video file format of the recorded content and 2) does
the device support and play the recordable DVD media format?
Both the DVD-Video file format and the DVD-R media format are part of the DVD
Forum’s specification. Therefore,
1) Any DVD player or DVD drive/computer system that plays replicated DVD-
Video discs will also play the DVD-Video content recorded and finalized
on the PRV-9000.
2) Any DVD player or drive that supports and plays DVD-R media will play
DVD-R discs recorded and finalized on the PRV-9000. *
* DVD-R media is currently compatible with most DVD players and DVD-ROM
drives. Pioneer fully expects this number to increase to nearly 100% over the
next year.
