29 Observation and Capture Editing Recording/Editing Before we start recording to, let s learn about the 2 different types of that we can record to. -RAM --RAM recorded on this unit may not be compatible with other players. -This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and cartridge -RAM, but the write-protect tabs on cartridge type discs give better protection to your recordings. -R -In order to play a -R recorded using this unit on another playback source, the disc must first be finalized. -Once a -R is finalized, it becomes -Video. You can record onto the available space on the disc and perform editing functions, such as giving titles to discs and programs anderasing programs before finalizing. -When programming is erased from a -R, that space does not become available. -Once an area on a -R is recorded on, that area is no longer available for recording, whether the recording is erased or not. -It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete recording management information after recording finishes. -Play may be impossible in some cases due to the condition of recording. -A -R recorded on this unit may not be recordable on other Panasonic recorders. -This unit is compatible with x 4x speed discs. In summary, with -RAM, the disk can be reused over and over. Video can be recorded and erased off the disk multiple times. However, -RAM disks might not be compatible with all household players. -R disks, once finalized can generally be played on any household player. Until it is finalized, programs and recordings can be added to the disk along as there is space available. Programs can also be deleted off the disk, but the space that they took up on the cannot be reused. Thus, eventually, the -R disk will run out of space even if you continously delete contents on the disk. Once the -R is finalized, the disk cannot be edited any more. You should check with your player instructions/specifications to see if it is compatible with -RAM or -R disks. *STRESS BUSTERS* Once you ve started recording, if you press STOP, there will be a recording to disc time when the recording is recording the video buffer to the.
