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.

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. In SD quality 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.
