Choose the file type for video editing

The only choice for recording HDV video with this recorder is .M2T. This file can now be used with

Note: The file format started with one bin will apply to all subsequent recordings in that bin and can
only be changed after the bin is erased or emptied.

Audio sampling rate

When the video source is digital [DIG] the DN-600 recorder will match the audio sampling rate of the

Set the record date

The date attribute of the created file is set to this date value when the source is analogue. Each file
representing a clip gets it own date. If the source is digital then the record date is taken from the
source digital stream. If that date is invalid or corrupt then the current record date set by this option is
used instead.
