Introduction
∫ DVD drive
• To copy the image on a DVD disc or to record data on a disc, a
DVD drive or video camera that can read and record on each
disc is required. (For the operation method, refer to the
operating instructions of your PC or drive etc.)
• If the drive is being used by another software (Explorer, etc.),
the drive cannot be used with this software. Close the software
before using the drive with this software.
(If the drive is being used by this software, the drive cannot be
used with another software.)
• Before using this software, ensure that the transfer mode of
the drive is set to [DMA]. If it is not set to [DMA], set it to [DMA]
by referring to the operating instructions of your drive. (It may
be impossible to set it to [DMA] depending on your PC.)
∫ Treatment of discs
• For treatment of the respective discs, refer to the operating
instructions for PCs and DVD drives too. Note that stained or
damaged discs may be impossible to record onto and read.
• A disc may not be recognized or data may not be recorded
properly even if the drive supports the discs, due to the
affinity between the disc and the drive. Select discs that
are recommended for the drive by referring to the
operating instructions of the PC and the drive.
∫ Recording speed
• The recording speeds (2
k, 4k, etc.) for drives and discs
indicate the maximum speed and not the actual recording
speed. (Speeds may vary depending on the combination of
drive and disc or the use conditions.)
∫ Operation during recording
• If the following actions are executed while the data is being
recorded onto a disc, recording may not complete properly,
and the disc, device, or data may be damaged.
- Operations for logging off from Windows ® , such as user
switching operation.
- Operation of other recording software. (Or while other recording
software is running, start recording with this software.)
- Connection cables for a PC or a DVD device (an external
DVD drive) are inserted or removed, or the power is turned on
or off.
- Other USB devices such as SD card reader are installed or
removed.
- This software is forcibly closed.
∫ Playback and use of produced discs
• Created discs in AVCHD standard cannot be accessed with
software that does not support the AVCHD standard.
Since data on an AVCHD standard disc are recorded in UDF
2.5 format, the files on the disc cannot be confirmed with
Windows
® Explorer in an environment that does not support
the UDF 2.5 format.
• For DVD-R discs with dual layer on single side, images may be
frozen or sounds may be inaudible for a moment when shifting
from the first layer to the second layer, depending on the
player.
• Do not delete or revise the folders on the discs and the files in
the folders. The data may not play back.
