Cautions when Backing Up in the DVD-Video Format
- It takes about 1.2 times the recording time to convert a video from high-defintion to standard image quality. (The original video remains in high-definition quality.)
- Each scene is saved as a chapter. The video pauses at the switching of scenes, but this is not a malfunction.
- Videos cannot be saved to DVD-R DL (double layer) discs. Use a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc.
Memo
- DVDs that are created with “DVD-Video” selected can be played back on normal DVD players.
- When backing up still images, “Blu-ray DISC” or “DVD” can be selected. Image quality of the still images will not be changed.
