Notes
• High-speed Dubbing is not available for the following
titles:
– Titles recorded in HQ+.
– Titles that contain both main and sub sounds (except
DVD-RWs (VR mode)).
– Titles recorded in mixed picture size (4:3 and 16:9
etc.), (except DVD-RWs (VR mode)).
• When dubbed to a DVD-RW (Video mode)/
DVD+RW/DVD+R/DVD-R, remnants of edited titles
may remain on the disc. If you edit a title, use the Rec
Mode Conversion Dubbing method. This will smooth
out the pauses between the scenes.
• When playing a dubbed DVD+R DL disc, the video and
audio may be momentarily interrupted at the point
where the layers switch.
Rec Mode Conversion Dubbing
n
/
+ RW - RW
HDD
- R
Allows you to dub from the HDD to a DVD or vice
versa, in a dubbing mode that differs from the
original recordings. For example, when you dub
an HQ title (data size is large) in SP mode, you can
reduce the data size, saving more titles using less
space.
Select a mode different from the original recording
in "Dub Mode" in the steps of "Dubbing a single
title (Title Dub)" on page 72 or "Dubbing multiple
titles (Dub Selected Titles)" on page 73.
When a title recorded to HDD in HQ or HQ+ mode
is converted to another mode, the recorder
automatically assigns an appropriate bit rate, thus
retaining the original picture quality as much as
possible.
b
Note
The picture quality will not improve even if a title is
converted to a recording mode of better picture quality.
