Recordable media types
The BenQ DE320 DVD Recorder allows you to make recordings on two different types of
media:
DVD+RW:
ReWritable Digital Versatile Discs (DVD), which means you can record data on the
disc at several different times until the disc is full, including over previous recordings.
DVD+R
: Recordable Digital Versatile Discs (DVD), which means you can record data on the
disc at several different times until the disc is full, but cannot record over previous recordings.
For DVD+R type discs, every new recording will be appended serially to the end of the exiting
recordings on the disc (as previous recordings cannot be written over with this type of disc).
Likewise, DVD+RW type discs can be used to record video serially just like a DVD+R type disc,
however, DVD+RW type discs also allow you to
overwrite
existing recordings on the disc.
With both types of discs, recording stops when the disc is full.
Note:
You can record up to 49 titles on a DVD+R or DVD+RW disc.
Record mode
Before recording, you should check and set the record mode of the DVD Recorder. The record
mode determines the record/play length of the DVD. See "Record mode" on page 64 for details.
Manual recording
You can start recording video as soon as a video source has been selected and an appropriate
recordable media has been set and loaded into the DVD Recorder. When you stop recording,
the title is closed, and the file details are written to the disc. See "Manual recording" on page 65
for details.
Sleep mode recording
Sleep mode allows you to start recording manually and set a timer to stop recording and shut-
down the DVD Recorder automatically. See "Sleep mode recording" on page 66 for details.
Adding bookmarks while recording
You can add bookmarks too if you want. See "Auto Chapters:" on page 88.
Pausing recording
You can pause and resume recording at any time, which will keep the segments together in the
same title. See "Pausing recording" on page 68 for details.
Preventing unintended erasure of discs
When recording on a DVD+RW disc, you can set the DVD Recorder to protect an entire disc
from further recording by using the ’Disc Lock’ function. See "Preventing unintended erasure
of a DVD+RW Disc" on page 84.
Timer recording
You can program the DVD Recorder to make a recording at some time in the future using the
’Timer recording’ function. See "Timer recording" on page 69 for details.
