Disc format
A DVD must be formatted in the following cases.
- When the DVD-RAM to be used for recording data is not formatted in the UDF 2.5 format, or is new.
-  When you want to record data onto a used DVD-RAM/RW.  
(However, data can be additionally recorded to DVD-RAM if the content already recorded is in the AVCHD standard.)
Important
 
Formatting will delete all existing data on the disc. Since the format process cannot be canceled, be careful and confirm the contents of the disc.
 
When recording the data in AVCHD standard to a DVD with this software, the disc must be formatted by this software. The format tool that comes 
with the DVD drive may not support the AVCHD standard.
 
If you cannot format the disc, change the auto protect setting to on or cancel the setting with the device that set the protection. (If a disc has the Auto 
protect setting enabled, format will clear the Auto protect setting.)
