How to Select a DVD Disc
There are many types of DVD discs but this camcorderuses 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-R DL
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 1second) at the point where the camcorder switches to the second layer. The switch to layer 2 will break the recording into 2 separate scenes.

Best for Compatibility

DVD-Rs can be recorded only once – you cannot edit or delete the recordings. On the other hand, these discs are comparatively cheaper.
Best for Recording Time

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.

When you first insert a brand new DVD-RW disc, the camcorder will automatically display the initialization screen where you can select the disc specification for the disc. VIDEO mode: Once finalized, discs recorded in VIDEO mode can be played back in...
