I taped 8 hours of programming in LP mode and want to burn it onto disc. Can I use the divide title mode to split the title into 3 segments so I can fit on 3 discs?

I can't begin to answer your question directly because I am not familiar with your audio unit but I have burned a few CDs on the computer...

Think of a vinyl LP with around 16 to 18 tracks. A CD of that album in high quality stereo audio will have no more or less and it will be, for practical purposes, full.
Thats it, roughly one CD per LP. Pure audio files are big and take up lots of room. Using a computer you could squeeze more in but it would mean breaking the LPs into tracks and playing disc jockey so by mixing and matching running times all the available space would be filled.

Most people who archive their tape and record collections do so on the computer using something like Goldwave to record the audio tracks and then convert them to Mp3 files using a suitable bitrate.. With the standard bitrate there is very little loss of quality and the amount of content that can fit on a CD is immense. I received an Mp3 CD from the Radio Lady and it contained 97 programmes from old radio - some were shorts and some were an hour but the majority were half-hour so it would be fair to say that Mp3 disc contained 50 times the content of an audio CD. Because they were low quality mono a lower bitrate could be used - on the other hand the highest bitrate produces a better than CD reproduction though the resulting files are as big as pure audio files.

The downside is not every CD player will accept Mp3 discs. The one in my van does and I rarely need to select another disc. If I want to play Mp3 content at home I do so with the computer, sometimes with an FM transmitter so we can listen on the big speakers of the hi-fi or a portable radio.
On the plus side the Mp3 files can be converted back to WAV and a CD burned at any time.

I hope you find this informative.

Hi, You can convert mini disc ( 8 cm diameter ) to a standard DVD disc via your PC. Please follow this steps : 1. Install your canon software/driver in PC 2. Install DVD creator in PC ( common software is use Nero scout) 3. Download your mini disc data to PC 4. Enhanced your data with Nero 5. Burn your data to standard DVD
Make sure you have DVD RW hardware in your PC.

1. On your remote, find the record mode button; it is near the bottom on the left side. This button sets
the recording speed for the DVR. Faster recording speeds provide higher quality recordings.
2. Look at the display on the front of the machine: it should say XP ( records 1 hour on the disc,)
SP ( 2 hours, ) LP ( 4 hours, ) or EP ( 6 hours. ) You can also set it to record 8 hours on a disc,
but the quality of the recording will be poor.
3 Press the record mode button until the screen displays the recording speed that you want.
4 Note: if the powers fails or the Machine is unplugged, the machine will automatically reset itself to
SP mode.

First, you will need to know if the program was recorded in XP mode, SP mode, LP mode, or EP mode. To find out how much room there is left, put the dvd in the tray and press the Disc Menu/List button on the JVC remote. This will display the title and how long it is - write that number down. It will also say either "XP,SP, LP, or EP" - write down that mode. In XP mode, a DVD will hold 1 hr and 20 mins worth of prgramming - MAXIMUM. SP mode = 2 hours. LP mode = 4 hours. EP = 6 hours. So, if your program is one hour, and you recorded in LP mode, you have 4 - 1 = 3 hours of space left for recording on that disc.

If you finalize a disc, you will no longer be able to add more programs to that disc, unless the disc is a + or - RW disc. Also note that finalization requires some disc space, so if you recorded a program that is exactly 1hr and 20 mins long, and you recorded it in XP mode, then the disc will probably not finalize correctly.

That being said, the finalization directions are on p. 23 of your manaul: Title --> Finalize --> => --> find finalize --> Enter --> OK --> Enter

Now it will play on other players.

Tracking is very sensitive on hi-8 tapes in LP mode. This recorder will record and playback in LP mode. It is however recommended that if you record in LP mode that you use the same camera to play it back, that it was recorded with, or you might have problems.
Also from what I can find online, the TR427 is just an video8 camera not a Hi-8 so if you are trying to play Hi-8 tapes on it, it won't play right.

It sounds like the taped program was recorded on a different speed. The other VCR that you are playing the taped program may not have the speed needed to play it correctly.
Next time when you record a program try to make sure you use a speed that will be compatible on both VCRs.
For example a tape that last 120 minutes, using the different speeds will give the following recording times.
SP means "Standard Play" >>>> 2 hours
LP means " Long Play" >>>>> 4 hours
ELP means " Extra Long Play" 8 hours

Older VCRs have all the 3 speeds but newer ones only have SP and ELP.
Hope this helps.

Try pausing the dvd recorder inbetween tapes, this usually works, otherwise consult your owners manual

See the manual, page 8:

What are “Recording modes”? for DVD-RW
