3.5 Burning a DVD
1 From the default screen, press the “MENU” once to show a list of files on the hard
disk. The file to be burnt may be selected by the ▲ ▼ keys. For each file, the start
times, finish times & dates are shown as well as the number of times the file has
been burnt to DVD disc.
► Set Burn file #001
===================
● 09:21 05Apr Burnt
09:20 06Apr no
TIP: When a file is shown, pressing the ► key scrolls through additional information
about the file including size, duration, frames per second, whether alarms were
active etc.
TIP: It is possible to change the file-listing screen to sort the files showing the oldest
or youngest file fist along with either a sequential or unique file number. See Section
4.2 page 8, “Set Burn Options”
NB: If AfterBurner is recording, the current file will be shown with an end time of
“now”. If this file is selected, the resulting DVD contains video up to the point when
the burn commenced. AfterBurner will continue to record to the same file while
burning the DVD.
2 Once the required file is displayed, press the “DVD” key. This powers up the DVD
drive and checks for a blank DVD disk.
3 If a “Tray Empty” message is shown, press the “DVD” key again to open the DVD
tray (at this point the tray can also be opened by the DVD drive’s own eject button).
Place a blank DVD±R disk in the tray and close by pressing the “DVD” key. The LCD
will show “Checking tray..” for a few seconds and then shows “Media blank”. If
the media is not blank, the LCD shows “DVD burnt”, which means it cannot be
used.
4 Press the “DVD” button once more. AfterBurner will now give the option to abort the
burn within 10 seconds. The LCD will show then show “Preparing image” >
“Burning lead-in” > “Burning xx% done” > “Burning lead-out”.
NB: For a full DVD (4.7GB) burning takes approximately 15 minutes (x 4 or higher
media).
TIP: It is possible to configure the system to automatically open the DVD tray to
open once a burn has been completed. See Section 3.3 page 8.
