How to do high speed dubbing to a DVD-R with the Panny E80?

[navarros]

I have a Panny E80 and haven't been able to do any HS dubbing to a blank DVD-R. I always get a message that tells me I can only do a real-time dubbing, which is more time consuming and implies image quality loss.

Any idea why is that so? I am using Ritex 4x media.

Thanks,
Santiago

It should be somewhere here. I believe I posted it before, but I can try to locate it again in manual. It is there

The problem is that I followed the manual instructionas (as well as the ones posted on this forum) and nothing....

I do have 'DVD-R Compatible' set on in the settings menu and I am trying to high speed dub clips recorded using SP settings to a DVD-R.

I can do high speed dubbing to DVD-RAM, but not to DVD-R

Does this help ?

Thanks Don Pedro!

I believe I found the problem:

"If you do ANY kind of editing on the hard disc, high speed transfer will not be available"

I always do some editing.

My routine is as follows. I have the panny permanently recording from a Spanish satellite package. Then I erase all the programs I am not interested in and leave the films and programs I want to archive. There are no commercials in that channel. But I only keep about 10% of the recordings.....

I had E80 for about 3 weeks. I was able to dub in high speed all of my recordings even after I edited recorded programs (Shorten Segment, Divide).

Are you sure that you are editing program directly and not creating Play List ?

1Turning “DVD-R compatible Rec” to “On” from the Setup menu allows dubbing to a DVD-R using the high speed mode after a recording has been saved to the HDD. (page 44)

You cannot select the high speed mode in the following cases.

–When dubbing a program containing recording restrictions from the HDD to a RAM disc.
–When dubbing programs from the HDD to a DVD-R that do not display the ">>O".
–When dubbing a playlist.

DVD-R compatible Rec

On: High speed mode compatibility (“>>O” appears in the
dubbing list. page 28 )
–Pictures are saved at 4:3.
–For SAP broadcasts use “Select MTS”. (next page)
Select the type of audio in advance.
–Hybrid VBR Resolution (below) setting is “Fixed”.

Off:
You cannot dub programs to a DVD-R disc using the high speed
mode if you recorded the program on a DVD recorder that does
not have the “DVD-R compatible Rec” function, even when dubbing
to the HDD with this setting “On”.
