- VR Mode
VR mode or Video Recording mode is a feature on stand-alone consumer and computer
DVD recorders that allows video recording and editing on a DVD rewriteable disc.In VR mode, users can create and rename titles for the scenes. Also, if a scene is deleted, the space allocated by it will be utilized later without the need of reformatting a disc.
If the user would like to record on the same disc again in later time, on VR mode, users may eject the disc and it will not be finalized by the recorder until it is manually initiated. For the sake of comparison, any DVD disc recorded in VR's competitor V mode (or
Video mode ) will be automatically finalized before it is ejected by the recorder. Disc finalization is still required if the disc formatted for VR mode will be played in another DVD player.Currently, users can only record in VR mode with the use of
DVD-RW ,DVD-RAM andDVD+RW discs, (updated in 2000 to accommodateDVD-R (General)) [DVD players marked “RW compatible” and “DVD Multi” can play DVD-VR recorded discs] and on some recorders, also on hard-disk drives.Blu-ray Disc andHD DVD also support VR mode-like features.DVD-VR & DVD+VR
There are two quite different application formats commonly known as VR mode.
1)DVD-VR was established by the DVD Forum and can be found on DVD-RW and DVD-RAM
2) DVD+VR is the creation and responsibility of Philips Electronics and is seen on their DVD+RW recorders.DVD-VR
