Tips
 
Format in UDF 2.0 format is not supported. If a disc is used in an 
ordinary DVD recorder, it must be formatted in UDF 2.0 format with 
the format tool on the DVD drive. (For the operation method, refer to 
the operating instructions for the drive.)
 
Memory cards must be formatted with the digital camera that this 
software supports.
 
Only discs that can be used with this software can be formatted. 
(However, it is impossible to format a DVD-R.)
 
For a double sided disc, format one side first and then format the 
other side.
