Solution
Changing the recording mode will change the recording time available on the disc. Select XP or SP mode for better movie quality; select LP mode for longer recording times.
The following table gives approximate recording times with a brand new DVD disc (on a single recording side).
| Disc Type | Recording mode | ||
| XP (HIGH QUALITY) | SP(STANDARD PLAY) | LP (LONG PLAY) | |
| DVD-R / DVD-RW | 20min. | 30min. | 60min. |
| DVD-R DL | 36min. | 54min. | 108min. |
| Default value | |||
CAUTION
The camcorder uses a variable bit rate (VBR) when encoding the video data so the actual recording times will vary depending on the content of the scenes.
