Stupid DVD question
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
Well, I just used the system default, whatever it is. We'll see what happens. Sometimes I think they give way too many options. It's like a lot of the options in vehicles nowadays. Separate temperature controls for each side of the car, about 20 different options for seat comfort, etc. I'd rather keep it simple and try and figure out how to work the stupid radio/cassette/DVD/GPS and whatever else is hidden in there.

Sean: Re: vr mode vs video mode while recording
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The DVD-VR mode gives several other features that the DVD-Video mode lacks, such as the ability to edit chapter marks in recordings, record "One-time" recordings, etc. Unfortunately, only DVD-VR compliant DVD players can playback these discs. Other DVD players will usually show 'No Disc', 'Invalid Disc' or some other error.
I would suggest recording in DVD Video mode if you intend playing these discs back in a DVD player, such as the one you have that is not compatible with your DVD-VR discs. One way you can try bringing up the disc menu is to press the 'Menu' button on your DVD player. I have encountered DVD players that have the ability to jump straight to the first title when loading a disc, which skips the menu altogether.
hope that helps

THANK YOU!!! You rock, dear Proph!!!
Looks like a great site. I've bookmarked it and plan to go back and look around.
That's true. I record stuff on -RW discs in VR mode and they don't play on most other machines, but under VR you can record and then edit out commercials later. In Video mode, you can't. I can just keep buying Sony players though. Problem solved.

Mine will play on other machines if after editing if I "Finalize" them. You might give that a try.
I checked in my owner's manual again and I found a little chart thingy that indicates there can be compatability problems when you use VR mode. Then it said a bunch more stuff I can't even pretend to understand. So I'll just stick with the Video mode...at least for now.
