DVD-/HDD-RECORDER ­ MD 80857 31 RECORDING TO DVD/HARD DISK Memory media: DVD+RW, DVD+R and hard disk DVD+RW DVD+RWs can be written and deleted again but repeated recording and deleting worsens the recording quality. Please also note that you can delete a title on a DVD+RW but the memory space freed up can only be used in consecutive blocks. The following graphic shows as an example that Title1 has been recorded and this takes up 20% of the DVD's memory capacity. In the second example, Title2 was recorded and this takes up 30% of the memory capacity. If, as in the third example, the first title is deleted the memory space is only available from the end of the second title, i. e. 50%. It may not be possible to record to a DVD+RW that already contains recordings from another DVD/HDD recorder or a computer. If you are still able to record on a DVD+RW that was produced by another recorder your DVD/HDD recorder creates a new DVD menu. If the DVD+RW contains data that were produced by a computer it is deleted by the recorder. DVD+R DVD+R discs can only be written once and no other new recordings can be added after a DVD+R has been finalised. Finalising means making the DVD+R compatible for other devices so that they can be played on them (Refer to "Finalise DVD", P.
