When you insert a disc’s title into thePlaylist, all the chapters within that title also appear.In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exact-ly as chapters on a DVD-Video disc do. Parts aresections of Original or Playlist titles. From the Originaland Playlist menu you can add or delete parts.Adding a chapter or title to the Playlist creates a newtitle made up of a section (ie., chapter) of an Originaltitle. Deleting a part removes part of a title from theOriginal or Playlist menu.CautionWhen editing using the Delete, Add and Move func-tions, the start and end frames may not be exactlyas set in the start and end point display.During Playlist playback, you may notice a momen-tary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?No. When you edit a video tape you need one videodeck to play the original tape and another to recordthe edits. With DVD, you edit by making a ‘Playlist’ ofwhat to play and when to play it. On playback, theRecorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.About word ‘Original’and ‘Playlist’Throughout this manual, you will often see the wordsOriginal and Playlist to refer to the actual content andthe edited version.Original: content refers to what’s actually recordedon the disc.Playlist: content refers to the edited version of thedisc — how the Original content is to be played.Adding Chapter MarkersAdding Chapter MarkersYou can create chapters within a title by insertingchapter marks at the desired points.Note:Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervalsautomatically.
