DVD-R DL
Best for Recording Time
Dual-layered discs allow writing up to
80%
more data (2.6 GB) on a single
recording side according to DVD Forum specifications. Dual layered discs have two
recording layers on a single recording side. The camcorder will record on the first
layer until it
is
full and then continue on the second layer (as a separate scene).

•
Reusability:

•
Finalization:
Once finalized, additional recordings cannot be made.
To
finalize a
dual layered disc the camcorder has to process both layers. Therefore, and
depending on the amount
of
free space on the disc, this process may be lengthy.
•
Compatibility:
A finalized DVD-R DL can only be played back on DVD devices
compatible with dual layered discs.
• During the playback
of
a recording spanning
both layers, you may notice a brief stop at the
point where the camcorder switches from Layer 1
to Layer
2.
DVD-RW
Best for Reusability

[VIDEO]: Offers a higher compatibility with external DVD devices. However, correct
playback cannot
be
guaranteed with all external DVD devices.
[VR]: Offers easy editing
of
the recordings with the camcorder.
•
Reusability:
Recordings can be deleted or the disc can be initialized
in
order to use
it multiple times or to change the disc specification. Note that initializing a disc will
erase, all the recordings on the disc.
•
Finalization:
Even after a DVD-RW disc is finalized, additional recordings can be
made. The way to do it depends on the disc specification used.
[VIDEO]:
You
will need to unfinalize the disc first.
[VR]: You can record additional scenes even without unfinalizing the disc.
•
Compatibility:
The compatibility
of
the disc depends on the disc specification used.
