Appears if an attempt is made to select multiple scenes for division: The specifications state that dividing multiple scenes is impossible. Appears when combining or moving scenes was instructed with "Category: VIDEO or PHOTO" specified. Appears if an attempt is made to record photos on DVD-R disc: The specifications state that no photo is recordable on DVD-R disc.

Specify "Category: All", and then operate VDR-M70PP/M50PP again. Use a DVD-RAM disc or card when recording photos.

*1: the DVD video recording format defines the maximum number of entry points as 999: Since one entry point is allocated to one scene, the maximum number of scenes recordable on disc with VDR-M70PP/ M50PP is 999. *2: If recording is continued without editing, one scene will comprise one cell for each entry point. When scenes are combined, only the number of entry points will decrease (only the entry point is deleted); the number of cells will not decrease. Assume, for example, that the number of cells before scenes are combined is 999, which is the upper limit defined by the DVD video recording format. If a scene comprising one cell is divided at two points and the scene between the divided scenes needs to be deleted, the cell must be further divided in order to delete. However, since the number of cells has reached the upper limit in this case, the cell cannot be divided and the scene cannot be deleted.
