Sony VRD-MC6 - Manual (Page 78)

78
When recording video, the length of time required for recording depends on the REC mode
setting (FH, HQ, SP, or LP) used to shoot the video and the number of scenes the video
contains. Typically, more time is required to record videos onto a disc if the video was
recorded with a higher image quality (bit rate) setting. The chart below provides a general
estimate of time required to record.
Recording HD (High Definition) video
(Time required to copy a 1-hour video)
Recording SD (Standard Definition) video
(Time required to copy a 1-hour video)
z Hint
• When a camcorder is connected to the DV IN or VIDEO IN connector on the DVDirect, the length of time
required for recording is the same as the playback time of the video.
b Note
• You cannot record HD (High Definition) video taken in REC mode at a bit rate exceeding 18Mbps, such
as in [HD FX] mode (for example, High Definition Handycam
®
) in AVCHD format.
