Supported Formats
The MPEG-4 technology allows a large video file, such
as a two-hour movie, to be efficiently compressed without
sacrificing its original video and audio quality. If you
watch an MPEG-4-based movie, there may be subtitle files
saved for playback in addition to the video/audio files.
Please check the table listed below to see whether your
MPEG-4 files are supported by this DVD recorder.
