while as only Video mode is available for DVD-R discs.
Video mode is the same recording format as used on
the pre-recorded DVD-Videos you purchase in local
shops. You can play back the discs recorded in this
format on most of the DVD players. You will need to
finalise such discs (see page 49) before playing them
back on other DVD players. Unless finalised, you can
record additional materials or edit discs recorded in
Video mode with this unit.
VR (Video Recording) mode is a basic recording
format for DVD-RW discs.
You can record and edit material repeatedly. It is
impossible to record additional materials on a disc
formatted in VR mode and already recorded in
another video system other than PAL, such as NTSC.
If you want to record repeatedly on the same disc, or
if you want to edit the disc after recording, use a
rewritable DVD-RW type disc.
If you want to save recordings without any alteration,
use a non-rewritable DVD-R type disc.
