Information on DVD-R Disc

You cannot record a still on DVD-R disc, or delete any
recorded images or data.
For optimum recording on DVD-R disc, this DVD Video
Camera writes control data to the disc in order to
automatically make adjustments when it is inserted and
ejected accompanying recording. If the disc has no area
to be written for adjustment, recording may not be
possible. To prevent this, do not insert or eject a DVD-R
disc which has been recorded on more than 50 times. The
DVD Video Camera will not perform "write adjustment"
when the DVD Video Camera is turned on again, from
off, for recording with the disc in it, or when no recording
is made, even if the disc is removed and then reinserted.
