Using a DVD-RW

This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (V mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to initialize a disc or not. If you select "Yes", disc will be formatted in VR mode. You can play a Video mode disc on various DVD components. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing.

Using a DVD-R

Formatting disc is unnecessary and only V Mode Recording is supported. You can play these type of discs on various DVD components only when they have been finalised.

  • You can only use either the VR or Video mode on a DVD-RW, but not both at the same time.
  • You can change the DVD-RW to format to another format by reinitializing. It should be noted that the disc's data will be lost when changing formats.

Step 3 Recording

There are two different recording methods, Direct Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is classified as follows:

Recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP (extended mode) according to the recording mode. When recording is set in the FR mode, the best quality picture is recorded with regards to the remaining time on the disc.

Step 4 Playing

You can select the title you want to play in a displayed menu and then immediately start playback.

A DVD consists of sections, called titles, and subsections, called chapters.

During recording, a title is created between two points where you start and stop recording.

Chapters will be created automatically when you finalise recording on DVD-RW/-R discs in Video mode.

The chapter's length (interval between chapters) varies according to the recording mode.

Step 5 Editing a recorded disc

Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes. The HDD & DVD REORDER supports many different edit functions, possible only with DVDs and HDD.

With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate various edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename, lock, etc., on a recorded title.

Creating a playlist (DVD-RW in VR mode, HDD)

With this HDD & DVD REORDER, you can create a new playlist on a disc and edit it without the original, pre-existing recording.

Step 6 Finalising & Playing on other DVD components

To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalising may be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording operations, then finalise the disc.

When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode

DVD discs recorded in VR mode can only be played back in DVD recorders, not players.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be finalised first to enable playback on anything other than this HDD & DVD REORDER.

No more editing or recording can be made on the disc once it has been finalised.

To enable recording on the disc again, the disc must be unfinalised.

When using a DVD-R disc

You should finalise the disc to play it on a component other than this HDD & DVD REORDER. You cannot edit or record on the disc once it has been finalised.

SAMSUNG DVD-HR734A - Unrecordable pictures - 1

Concerning Copy Control Signals

TV broadcasts that contain copy control signals may have one of the following three signal types, Copy-Free, Copy-Once and Copy-Never. If you want to record a copy-once type programme, use DVD-RW with CPRM in VR Mode.

Signal type MediaCopy-FreeCopy-OnceCopy-Never
DVD-RW(Ver.1.1)O--
DVD-RW(Ver.1.1) with CPRM
VR modeOO*-
V modeO-
DVD-RO-

Once "Copy Once" has been recorded, recording cannot be done anymore.

- Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM)

CPRM is a mechanism that ties a recording to the media on which it is recorded. It is supported by some HDD & DVD RECORDERS, but not by many DVD players. Each blank recordable DVD has a unique 64-bit media ID etched in the BCA. When protected content is recorded onto the disc, it can be encrypted with a 56-bit C2 (Cryptomeria) cipher derived from the media ID.

During playback, the ID is read from the BCA and used to generate a key to decrypt the contents of the disc. If the contents of the disc are copied to other media, the ID will be absent or wrong and the data will not be decryptable.

- Title List

Title List is a list of previously recorded programmes. If a title is deleted, that title cannot be played again.

- Play List

This refers to a unit of playback, which is made by selecting a desired scene in the entire Title List. When one playlist is played, only the scene selected by the user will play and then stop. Since only the information necessary for playing a desired scene is included in a playlist, even if that playlist is deleted, the original stream will not be deleted.

Recording or editing might not be completed if an error, such as a sudden power failure occurs. Please be aware that a material that has been damaged is unable to be retrieved to its original content.
