Hi—and thanks for opportunity to post.
I have finally bought a DVD recorder (Panasonic---DMR-ES20) in an attempt to wean myself off of my VCR.
I have a question involving DVD –RW (this unit can use +R, DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-ram): I have set the unit up to tape 2 hours worth of news from mon-fri (10 hours per week) using SP mode on the disc (2 hours).
Now---for VHS, every two days I merely rewind the tape and the VCR tapes over the data.
For DVD-RW---what do I need to do—if anything?
Will the DVD recorder recognize that the disc is full and start over by itself OR do I need to do something to the disc ( a method which replaces rewinding a VHS tape?).
The owner’s manual talks about formatting (I formatted the disc prior to setting up my timer recording). It also talks about deleting “titles”.
So I am asking: Do I need to reformat this disc every time it gets full and/or just delete titles (I guess it has to be the most recent titles if more space is to be provided).
Thx for any help!
PS: Once finalized----to use on other recorders---can the disc be re-formatted to use again?
