Enjoying High-Definition Video with
your DVD Camcorder
Recording HD video with your DVD camcorder may seem a bit complicated at first.
Actually, you need to make just two simple choices and you can start recording right
away. The first choice is what disc type – or physical media – to use. The second
choice is what image quality – and disc specification – to use.
Let us walk you through it.

Decide what type of DVD disc is best for you
There are many types of DVD discs but this camcorder uses only the
following three types of 8 cm mini DVD discs: DVD-R, DVD-R DL and
DVD-RW. Read the differences between them and select the disc that best
fits your needs.
DVD-R
DVD-Rs can be recorded only once – you cannot edit or delete the recordings. On the
other hand, these discs are comparatively cheaper.
DVD-R DL
Dual-layered discs allow writing up to 80% more data (approx. 2.6 GB) on a single
recording side. However, you cannot edit or delete the recordings.
Dual-layered discs have two recording layers. The
camcorder will record on Layer 1 and then continue to
Layer 2. During the playback of a recording spanning
both layers, you may notice a brief stop (about 1
second) at the point where the camcorder switches to
the second layer. In SD quality the switch to Layer 2
will break the recording into 2 separate scenes.
DVD-RW
Recordings made on a DVD-RW disc can be edited or deleted. Also, the disc can be
initialized. Initializing a DVD-RW disc clears all the recordings and restores the free
space on the disc to its initial value so you can use the same disc again.
