Q19: How is the audio encoded in DVD-Video format?
A19: The PRV-LX1 can accept two channels of unbalanced and balanced audio. The audio is
encoded as Dolby Digital (AC3) 2-channel audio (16bit-48kHz-256kbps). The PRV-LX1 can also
record Linear PCM audio. Linear PCM audio encodes as 2-channel audio (16bit-48kHz - 1536kbps).

Q20: Can the PRV-LX1 import MPEG-2 files to its internal HDD via DVD media or using an external
USB 2 HDD connected to the PRV-LX1 USB connector?
A20: No, however, the LX1 does offer the ability to export VOB files. Using this feature you can extract
the VOB file down to an MPEG-2 file and use within other DVD authoring tools. Note: Extracting
MPEG-2 files from a VOB file requires a third party's extractor software.

Q21: How long does it take to finalize a disc recorded on DVD-R media?
A21: The DVD disc specification requires lead in and lead out data be written to the disc. In addition,
the DVD Specification states that a minimum of 35mm of data starting from the inner radius must be
recorded onto the disc. The data size of a recorded segment is dependent on the bit rate set for that
segment and the length of the segment. Finalization time is based on how much data is recorded to
DVD-R media and how much lead-out is required to meet the specifications. On the PRV-LX1,
finalization times range from 3 minutes to 7 minutes, depending upon the bit rate and running time of
the video recorded onto the disc. Note: Finalization time is not dependent on disc media; the time
required to finalize a disc is the same for both DVD-R media and a new piece of DVD-RW media.

Q22: Do finalization times differ when using a previously recorded and finalized DVD-RW disc on the
PRV-LX1?
A22: Yes. When using DVD-RW media that has been previously recorded and finalized on the
PRV-LX1, the finalization time is 3 minutes or less. This shortened finalization time is because the new
content records over the existing content and the lead in/out and minimum data requirements have
already been met. Running a full blank format on this DVD-RW media within the PRV-LX1 causes the
unit to see the disc as a new piece of DVD-RW media.

Q23: Is there a difference in finalization time based on bit rate settings and number of record sessions?
A23: Yes. Finalization time is based on how much data is recorded to the disc. A smaller file occupies
less space on the disc so finalization may take longer. The more recording sessions on the disc means
more data. Therefore, finalization time decreases until the minimum of 3 minutes is reached. Refer to
FAQ #21 above for more information.
