A DVD disc must be formatted in the following cases.
- When a DVD-RAM disc for recording data is not formatted in the UDF 2.5 format. (A new DVD-RAM disc must be formatted with this
software before use.)
- When you want to copy or record data onto a used DVD-RAM/RW disc.
(It is possible to add data onto a DVD-RAM disc in AVCHD standard even though it is not initialized.)
- To delete all data on a DVD-RAM/RW disc. (It is impossible to format a DVD-R disc because the data is recorded only once.)
Attention
z Format will delete all data on a disc. Since the format process
cannot be cancelled, be careful and confirm the contents of
the disc.
z SD cards must be formatted with the video camera that this
software supports ( l11) .
z When recording the images in AVCHD format to a DVD disc
with this software, the disc must be formatted by this software.
The format tool that comes with the DVD drive may not
support the AVCHD standard.
z Only discs that can be used with this software ( l13) can be
formatted. (However, it is impossible to format a DVD-R disc.)
z For a double sided disc, format one side first and then format
the other side.
z Format in UDF 2.0 format is not supported. If a disc is used in
an ordinary DVD recorder, it must be formatted in UDF 2.0
format with the format tool on the DVD drive. (For the
operation method, refer to the operating instructions for the
drive.)
z Format is not possible if the discs are protected. Clear the
settings by using the device that write protected the disc or
enable the [Auto Protect] settings
( l90) . (If a disc has the
[Auto Protect] setting enabled, format will clear the [Auto
Protect] setting.)
