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

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. The switch to layer 2 will break the 
recording into 2 separate scenes.

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.

DVD-RW discs can be recorded using either one of two disc specifications: VIDEO mode 
or VR mode. 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 most 
common DVD players offering the best compatibility. However, recordings cannot be 
edited (deleted, rearranged, etc.).
VR mode: You can easily edit the recordings. However, discs recorded in VR mode can 
only be played back with DVD players compatible with DVD-RWs in VR mode.
Note: DVD-R and DVD-R DL discs can only be recorded in VIDEO mode.
