Assume, for example, that the number of cells before scenes arecombined is 999, which is the upper limit defined by the DVD video recording format. If a scenecomprising 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 theupper limit in this case, the cell cannot be divided and the scene cannot be deleted.32VDR-M70EG / VDR-M70EB / VDR-M70GC / VDR-M50EG / VDR-M50EB / VDR-M50GCDownloaded From CamcorderManual.com Panasonic Manuals
