Recording

About DVD recording

Notes:

  • This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or CD-RW discs.
  • Our company takes no responsibility for recording failure due to power outages, defective discs, or damage to the Recorder.
  • Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect playback and/or recording performance. Please take proper care of your discs.

Disc types and recording formats, modes, and settings

This recorder can play five different kinds of DVD discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RAM, DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW discs is always "Video format"—the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R, DVD+R, or DVD+RW in a regular DVD player. The DVD-RAM disc format is Video Recording (VR) format.

By default, the DVD-RW disc format is Video format, though you can change this to Video Recording (VR) format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase the contents of the disc.)

The recording mode is closely related to the disc format. If the disc format is Video Recording format, then the recording mode is VR mode; if the disc format is Video mode, then the recording mode is Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not recordable, and so does not have a recording mode). Within the recording modes (which are fixed for them whole disc) are the record settings. These can be changed as required for each recording and determine the picture quality and how much space the recording will take up on the disc.

Notes for recording

  • The recording times shown are not exact because the recorder uses variable bit-rate video compression. This means that the exact recording time will depend on the material being recorded.
  • When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is poor or the picture contains interference, the recording times may be shorter.
  • If you record still pictures or audio only, the recording time may be longer.
  • The displayed times for recording and time remaining may not always add up to exactly the length of the disc.
  • The recording time available may decrease if you heavily edit a disc.
  • If using a DVD-RW disc, make sure you change the recording format (Video mode or VR mode) before you record anything on the disc. See page 22 (Initialize) for how to do this.
  • When using a DVD-R or DVD+R disc, you can keep recording until the disc is full, or until you finalize the disc. Before you start a recording session, check the amount of recording time left on the disc.
  • When using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode, recording time available will only increase if you erase the last title recorded on the disc.
  • The Delete Title option in the Title List (Original) menu only hides the title, it does not actually erase the title from the disc and increase the recording time available (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode).
    • Overwrite recording is available using DVD+RW discs.
  • When using a DVD+R/RW, the recorder will execute the Menu-making operation to update the new title and editing when removing the disc from the recorder or turn off the recorder.

Recording time and picture quality

There are four preset recording quality modes:

  • XP – Highest quality setting, gives about 1 hour of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).
  • SP – Default quality, sufficient for most applications, gives about 2 hours of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).
  • LP – Slightly lower video quality, gives about 4 hour of recording time on a DVD disc (4.7GB).
  • EP – Lowest video quality, gives about 6 hour of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).

You may see a fragmented picture during playing back the contents recorded in EP mode.

Restrictions on copying

Some video material is copy-once protected: If you want to record copy-once protected material to DVD, you must use a VR mode DVD-RW disc compatible with CPRM Ver. 1.1.

You can identify copy-once protected material during playback by displaying disc information on-screen.

  • NTSC format signals from the analog or the DV inputs is not recorded correctly with this recorder.
  • Video signals in SECAM format (from the built-in TV tuner or from the analog inputs) are recorded in PAL format.
  • Video that is 'copy-once only' can only be recorded using DVD-RW disc in VR mode or DVD-RAM disc with CPRM (see below).

What is 'CPRM'?

CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble system) only allowing the recording of 'copy once' broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media.

This Recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings.

Editing

Title List and Chapter List Menu Overview

Using the Title List menu you can edit video content. The editing features available in the Title List menu depend on whether you are editing video on DVD, and whether you're editing Original content, or a Playlist.

There are two ways to edit VR mode DVD-RW discs. You can directly edit the Original content of the disc, or you can create and edit a Playlist. The Playlist doesn't actually change any of the content on the disc, but just controls how the content is played back.

  1. Press MENU/LIST to display the Title List menu. Playback should be stopped when you do this.

  2. You can also access it using HOME menu, select [Movie] option then select [DISC] option and press ENTER.

  3. When selecting titles, use the ▲ / ▼ buttons to display the previous/next page if there are more than six titles.
  4. If you are editing a VR mode disc, press MENU/LIST to switch between Original and Playlist menu.

On the left side of the screen are the menu options. The main part of the screen shows thumbnails of the titles (or chapter) on the DVD. You can change these thumbnails using the THUMBNAIL button—see Changing Title Thumbnails on page 40.

Press DISPLAY to display the information of selected title on the Title List menu.

After selecting a title or chapter on the Title List or Chapter List menu, then press ENTER. The menu options appears on the left side of the menu. Use

▲ / ▼ to select a option then press ENTER to confirm your selection.

VR Mode: Original and Playlist Editing

Titles, Chapters and Parts

Titles in the disc's original content contain one or more chapters. When you insert a disc's title into the Playlist, all the chapters within that title also appear. In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exactly as chapters on a DVD-Video disc do. Parts are sections of Original or Playlist titles. From the Original and Playlist menu you can add or delete parts. Adding a chapter or title to the Playlist creates a new title made up of a section (ie., chapter) of an Original title. Deleting a part removes part of a title from the Original or Playlist menu.

Caution

  • When editing using the Delete, Add and Move functions, the start and end frames may not be exactly as set in the start and end point display.
  • During Playlist playback, you may notice a momentary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.

Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?

No. When you edit a video tape you need one video deck to play the original tape and another to record the edits. With DVD, you edit by making a 'Playlist' of what to play and when to play it. On playback, the Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.

About word 'Original' and 'Playlist'

-RWvr RAM

Throughout this manual, you will often see the words Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and the edited version.

  • Original: content refers to what's actually recorded on the disc.
  • Playlist: content refers to the edited version of the disc — how the Original content is to be played.

Adding Chapter Markers

LG DR199H - Adding Chapter Markers - 1

LG DR199H - Adding Chapter Markers - 2

You can create chapters within a title by inserting chapter marks at the desired points.

Note:

Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals automatically. You can change this interval from the Initial Setup menu (see "Auto Chapter" on page 21).

During recording or playing back, at the point you want to start a new chapter, press CHP ADD. A chapter marker icon appears on the TV screen.

Changing Title Thumbnails

LG DR199H - Changing Title Thumbnails - 1

LG DR199H - Changing Title Thumbnails - 2

Each title displayed in the Title List menu is represented by a thumbnail picture taken from the start of that title or chapter.

If you prefer, select a different still picture from within a title.

Press THUMBNAIL to make the currently displayed picture the one that appears in the Title List menu. The still picture that you choose appears in both the Original or Playlist menu.

Tip:

You can also change the thumbnail picture of the title on the Chapter List menu. Select a chapter on the Chapter List menu then press THUMBNAIL. The thumbnail picture of the title that includes the chapter is changed.

Making a New Playlist

-RWvr RAM

Use this function to add an Original title or chapter to the Playlist. When you do this, the whole title is put into the Playlist (you can delete bits you don't need later — see Deleting an Original or Playlist title/chapter on page 42).

The title appears in the Playlist complete with the chapter markers that appear in the Original. However, if you add more chapter markers to the Original later, these are not automatically copied over into the Playlist title.

You can add up to 999 chapters to one disc. If you only want to add a chapter of a title, use the Adding a title/chapter to the Playlist on this page.

  1. Choose a title or chapter on the Title List-Original menu or Chapter List-Original menu to put into the Playlist, then press ENTER. The menu options appears on the left side of the menu.

Playing Your Recordings on Other DVD Players (Finalizing a Disc)

Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs recorded in Video mode, finalized DVD+R or DVD+RWs. A small number of players can also play DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode, finalized or not. Check the manual that came with the other player to check what formats of discs it will play.

Finalizing 'fixes' the recordings and editings in place so that the disc can be played on a regular DVD player or computer equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.

Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen for navigating the disc. The menu can be accessed by pressing MENU/LIST or TITLE.

To finalize a disc, refer to "Finalize" on page 22.

Notes:

  • Unfinalized DVD+RW is playable on regular DVD players.
  • The edited contents of a DVD+RW disc is compatible on regular DVD players only after finalization.
  • Any edited contents of the DVD+R disc are not compatible on regular DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter mark, etc.)
  • How long finalization takes depends on the type of disc, how much is recorded on the disc, and the number of titles on the disc.
  • DVD+R DL disc can take up to 30 minutes to finalize.
