Setting motion picture functions
Tips
●
The DVD-RAM/RW that was recorded with Auto Protect enabled is
set as protected, so it may not be possible to format by other DVD
recording software or Windows Explorer.
In this case, formatting the disc with this software will cancel the
Protect setting, and enable other software to format the disc. ([Simple
erasure] is recommended.)
●
When Auto Protect is enabled, protection is set after recording even
for DVDs immediately after formatting for which protection is not set.
[Auto protection settings for writing to DVD-RAM/RW]
[Auto Protect ON]: The protect setting is turned off
temporarily when adding data to a
DVD in AVCHD standard that is set as
protected. (Protect setting is set again
when the DVD is ejected.)
[Auto Protect OFF]: Recording to the protected DVD is not
possible.
[Seamless setting during SD or DVD writing]
Specify processing between scenes for uninterrupted playback
when you collect multiple scenes for recording in BD format or
AVCHD format.
When using the Smart Wizard to create a disc in BD/AVCHD format,
operation will follow the setting [Make seamless recording when
recording modes are same] regardless of the settings made here.
[Make seamless recording when recording modes are same]:
Processing for seamless playback between scenes longer than
three seconds that are recorded in the same mode (with the
same resolution, frame rate, and number of audio channels).
●
There will be gaps in playback between scenes of different
recording modes or scenes of three seconds or less.
[Make seamless recording even though the recording
modes are different]:
Processing for seamless playback even between scenes
recorded in different modes and shorter than three seconds.
However, conversion will take some time, and the picture quality
will be inferior. With this option, we recommend using an Intel
Core™ 2 Quad 2.6 GHz or higher processor. (As a guideline, it
takes about 50 minutes to record 10 minutes of motion picture
®
with Intel Core™ 2 Quad 2.6 GHz.)
●
When motion pictures in 1080/60p or 1080/50p format and
motion pictures in AVCHD format are mixed, they are all
converted to AVCHD format.
●
The resolution, frame rate, and number of audio channels can
be checked in the [Properties] window.
