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.

Obviously, the PRV-9000 will play a VR format recorded DVD-RW disc with the full range of playback and basic editing features build into the recorder. There are some applications that require record and play to occur in the same device.
  • Page 3 Can the PRV-9000 be set to record in multiple bit rates in VR format? Yes, in VR format the PRV-9000 recorder can be set to one of one of 32 video encoding bit rates. The highest quality setting is 10.08 Mbps and allows for one hour of recorded video on a single-sided 4.7Gbyte DVD-RW disc.
  • Page 4 DSI end point data is not required in the VR format. Since the DSI end point data is not required, the PRV-9000 does not need to add it and the recorder does not need to record VR formatted content in pre-defined intervals.
