Recording with the DVD COPY function
If the “DVD COPY function” is used with a video camera which supports this function, the software will start up automatically, and you can
record the video content on the internal HDD of the video camera onto a DVD disc. The second time this function is used, only the new content
is selected automatically for recording.
This is convenient when backing up content captured with the video camera.
Available when using video cameras equipped with the DVD COPY function. For details, refer to the Operating Instructions of the video camera.
DVD COPY works with video content captured on video camera hard disks. SD card content is not supported for backup, and neither are
photos.
Content is recorded in DVD-Video format on DVD-R/RW discs.
Content that does not fit on a single disc is automatically split and recorded over multiple discs.

equivalent to the capacity of the disc. To change the work folder
Discs recorded this way are for playback only. Additional content
cannot be recorded on them.
Video content recorded on the DVD disc cannot be returned to the
video camera.
Video content already recorded on disc with the DVD COPY function
is recognised as recorded. For this reason, the content cannot be
recorded again using the DVD COPY function.
