Editing before finalizing disk? Does any anyone know if you can edit out commercials or other things from the disk before you finalize it?

So this recorder does not have a PAUSE while record function? That means that you have to record commercials while recording. I had a SONY GX-300 that had that feature.

Spoke with Sony a few minutes ago that finalized dvds cannot be copied once created by the unit through normal copying methods, but the contents can then be ripped by a software utility. They mentioned Windows Live, but I am not familiar with this process. Does anybody know a good work-around?

Hi. I am Patrick and I have gone thru what you are about to do. Get DVD-R, by using this version you can set the machine to burn so as not to ERASE BY ACCIDENT,, once you burn the dvd your machine will ask you a series of questions about keeping what you recorded, if you want to keep temporaly use DVD-RW this series -rw can be erased and re-recorded DVD-r,,once it it is burned you can delete the title but you loose that portation of the DVD-R

Yes, if the disk is still good, it can be overwritten as often as you need to. Just delete what you don't want saved. -fred

I do my editing before it goes to printer. Either through my scanner or photoshop (or whatever process you use).

The disk has to be finalized after you finish recording on it. Then it can be played on other DVD players. The recorder will prompt you to finalize the disk, which can be done in 3 simple steps and takes a few minutes.

I'm quite sure you can pick and choose what you want. I usually just record a CD and then edit the finished product.I haven't used it in quite a while. When I did use it, I'd just pop a CD in, and when it was finished I'd take the mem stick to the PC and listen to it. Anything I wanted to edit I would do that using DAK editor.

I didn't see any options for that. You boot from the cd/dvd and clone the drive. I suppose that you could deinstall the programs you don't want afterwards. HTH

I honestly can't remember if it came with a disc or a software because I didn't use any. It worked right out of the box (I recommend formatting it first though). Do you need a software? If you do, you can probably download it from their website.

I found doing it by cd is easier than the online way. :) I hope that this helps. If you have any other questions, just ask. I might can help. Carolyn

I reformat the disc! The tools menu has this as an option, and it works great. I do it after every download.

Yes. You just have to know what you will do with them afterwards. How do you want to edit them ?

Yes and no. Here's why: Yes if you are storing your FC project on the drive for long term storage or archive. In this way, you'll used the Macbook's internal drive for editing and the external drive for archiving. No if you are directly editing video files on the external drive. In all cases, the resolution of your video files will dramatically effect how your machine/drive responds.

are you sure? my model is old and i can't edit and finalize afterwards and use in another dvd player. The finalize process is the real important thing to play in other players, but just with RAM discs because it won't let me edit using DVD-RW discs.

Sry Bert, I only use this to tape football games. But my guess is that despite it's versitility, you would probably need video editing gear to edit the commercials out.GL

i have had success with playing the DVD on various machines by using the FINALIZE disc option. use SETUP, then DISC EDIT, then FINALIZE and choose YES.
