High-Speed Copying from HDD to DVD

When archiving video content to DVD, Pioneer's PRV-9200 can quickly transfer video
files from the HDD without any loss of recorded video quality. The high-speed copying
process allows you to transfer one hour of video from the HDD to a DVD in a fraction of
the time it took to record It. For example, when using 8x DVD-R discs, the time it takes
to copy one hour of content recorded in EP Video Mode to DVD-R is about 1.25 minutes.
That’s 48 times taster to copy the video than it took to record it! One hour of content
recorded to the HDD in FINE Video Mode can be transferred to 8x DVD-R in about
8 minutes. This feature let s you save time and money, especially wnen you must make
multiple DVD copies for your clients and projects.
