Compatible disc types for recording differ as follows, depending on the type
of video device and connection interface you are using.

Notes on creating video DVDs

• You cannot record videos with copy-protected signals (commercial DVDs,

VHS software, some programs from satellite or CATV receivers, etc.).

• You cannot make incremental recordings on discs that have been created

using a computer or other DVD recorder.

• When adding video to a video DVD created using a DVD+R disc, you must use

the same interface used during the previous recording to connect the video
device and the DVDirect. For example, you cannot add video from a DVD
camcorder connected via an S-video or video input cable onto a DVD+R disc
with video dubbed from a DVD camcorder that was connected via a USB cable.

• When recording video from an HDD camcorder onto a disc, only the video

images stored in the camera are available for recording. You cannot record both
the video and still images stored in the camera onto a disc at the same time.

• When using a DVD camcorder, recording is not possible when the disc

inside the DVD camcorder is a DVD-RW disc with video recorded in
DVD-VR format.
