DVD+ReWritable:
Create Your Own DVD
The DVD+RW video recorder allows
you to make recordings from various sources
- favorite TV programs or your own camcorder
movies - to create your own DVD. Of course, it plays back your
DVD-Video movies as well.
Digital Picture Quality DVD+RW video recorders make use of
the same Variable Bit Rate (VBR) MPEG2 video encoding as used for
pre-packaged DVD-Video movies, allowing for the same digital quality
levels as DVD-Video discs that people have become familiar with.The one-
hour recording mode is perfect to make a digital copy of your digital
camcorder tapes without any analogue step in between. In the two-hour
recording mode the quality is as good as any pre-recorded DVD while the
three- and four-hour modes ensure any TV program will fit onto the disc in a
picture quality still far superior to VHS.
Digital Sound Quality Audio is digitally encoded in MPEG
Audio.As a result, the sound quality of a recording, like the picture
quality, is comparable to that of pre-packaged DVD-Video discs.
Two-way Compatibility DVD-Video is becoming the preferred pre-
recorded video distribution format.Adding recording capabilities to DVD
players will further boost the appeal of the DVD system.
Of course, for long-term success it is essential that both home-recorded and
pre-recorded discs can be played on the same equipment. DVD+RW has
therefore been designed to be two-way compatible with existing and
future DVD-Video and DVD-ROM players:
• DVD+RW video recorders will play DVD-Video discs
• Recordings made with a DVD+RW video recorder can be played
on existing and future DVD-Video players as well as on PCs with
a DVD-ROM drive
DVDR 1000
Only DVD+RW technology provides the unique advantage of this two-way
compatibility.This is one reason why DVD+RW is a major breakthrough in
rewritable DVD technology.
