Recording
Once the record time per DVD, quality and burn options are configured, the recorder
starts recoding by pressing the “REC” key. This key will show constant red when
recording in real-time, flashing red when recording in time-lapse. Pressing the record
key again causes the unit to ente
r
“Stop” or “Record-Pause” (see below).
Whilst recording, the LCD scrolls though a summary of the machine’s status including:
Whether recording is taking place, in either time-lapse, real-time or record-
pause.
The size of the video file so far (4.7 GB max)
Estimated burn time, taking into account if burn “at given time” option has been
set in the “Set Burn Mode” main menu
The remaining free space, shown as GB and estimated time, on the internal
hard disk (except endless loop mode).
2.6 Record
Pause
Record-pause mode is selected in the “Set System Options” advanced menu (Section
3.7, page18). In this mode, pressing the “Record” button whilst recording causes
AfterBurner to “Pause” indicated by a slowly flashing record button. A short press of the
“Rec” button then starts recording again
to the same file
. Pressing the record button for
2 seconds stops recording and closes the file on the hard disk.
TIP
M
This mode is especially useful when the recorder is being started and stopped
frequently as all the recordings are appended to one DVD file, rather than
generating many separate files.
