Editing a VR Disc

Post by markguitre »

How does one add a video file to a VR (DVD+RW) disc? I'm able to create a menu, add the first title, then burn; but when I go back later to place additional titles, the program wants to erase the one(s) already there and start from scratch. Is there a way?

I think this feature of VR is for stand-alone DVD recorders and direct-to-DVD cameras.

I recommend that you capture/import all of your video to your hard drive, and burn your DVD once, from those files.

And, if you add some video after creating you menu structure, you won't be able to access the video anyway.

Thanks Doug. Yes, that is what I want to do: go back to a disc again and again adding, maybe erasing titles. You say the VR mode is not good for this, but then what is it good for? In the manual it says you can go back and "edit" a disc. What editing are they talking about?
A standalone DVD recorder can do what I want of course, and that's been the way I've done it for years with short "event" type scenes of cam footage, but there I have not much editing capability.

Your doing this correctly. A VR disk has two modes, -VR or +VR.

From the launcher screen you want to go into "EDIT DISK" or "Disk Edit", then follow the prompts.
It sounds to me like you created a standard dvd disk using a DVD+RW disk.
To use the +VR properly I'm pretty sure you format it first as UDF 2.01.
Then add video to the disk, write, edit & re-write/update the disk.
The dvd+rw disk needs to be formatted in UDF 2.01 first to do this.
