Copying and backup

Introduction

Use the copying features of this recorder to:

• Back up important recordings stored on

the HDD to a DVD.

• Make a DVD copy of a recording on the

HDD to play in another player.

• Transfer video from a DVD to the HDD

for editing.

• Transfer edited video from the HDD to

DVD.

The simplest way to copy a title is to use the
One Touch Copy feature. This copies the
currently playing HDD title to DVD, or DVD
title to the HDD. See

One Touch Copy

on

page 81 for detailed instructions.

For more sophisticated copying tasks you
can build a Copy List of titles to copy, and
edit titles so that you only copy the bits you
want. See

Using Copy Lists

on page 82 for

detailed instructions.

Where possible, the recorder will copy your
recordings at high-speed. Depending on the
recording mode, the kind of disc loaded and
various other factors, copying can be as fast
as one minute per hour of video. See

Minimum copying times

on page 121 for

more on copying times.

If you want to save disc space you can copy
video at a lower recording quality (for
example, an XP recording on the HDD
copied to SP on a DVD). Copying in this way
is always done in real-time.

When real-time copying from the HDD to a
Video mode DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/+RW,
the chapter markers in the original material
are not copied. Chapter markers are put into
the copy at intervals, according to the Auto
Chapter settings (see also

Auto Chapter

(Video)

and

Auto Chapter (DVD+R/+RW)

on

page 117).

Restrictions on copying

Commercial DVD-Video discs are protected
using Copy Guard. These discs cannot be
copied to the HDD.

Some video material is copy-once protected.
This means that it can be recorded to HDD,
but it can’t then be freely copied again. If you
want to transfer copy-once protected
material from HDD to DVD, you’ll need to a
CPRM ver. 1.1 or higher VR mode DVD-RW,
ver. 2.0 or 2.1 VR mode DVD-R, or CPRM-
compatible DVD-RAM disc (see

CPRM

on

page 33 for more on this). Only one instance
of a copy-once protected title can be added
to the Copy List, and after it’s been copied,
the title is erased from the HDD (it is
therefore not possible to copy a locked title
that is copy-once protected).

You can identify copy-once protected
material during playback by displaying disc
information on-screen. If the current title is
copy-once protected, an exclamation mark
(

!

) is shown.
