Command menu panel options

The table below shows which commands you can use with which video type.

Editing accuracy

Some editing (and Copy List) commands ask you 
whether you want to keep Video mode compatibility or 
frame accuracy (

Video mode compatible editing

, or 

Frame 

accurate editing

).

Frame accurate editing is very precise. The edit point is 
accurate to the exact frame you choose. However, this 
accuracy is not preserved in any copy you make if you use 
the high-speed copy function to make a Video mode DVD.

Video mode compatible editing is less precise. The edit 
point you choose will only be accurate to within 0.5–1 
second. On the other hand, these edit points will be 
preserved if you use high-speed copy to make a Video 
mode DVD.

HDD genres

The large capacity of the HDD means that there may be 
many hours of video in the recorder. To help you organize 
your HDD video content you can assign different genres 
to titles. There are nine genres in total, including five 
user-definable ones that you can name as you like.
