When the series is finished, the plan is to dub the whole series onto DVD (double layer disc!) my question is, does anybody know if it is possible to edit out the end of the previous programme and the excess after the WotSS has finished? to make a seamless set.
I suspect an unedited DVD disc could be edited in a PC using something like Nero, but of course the disc wouldn't play in the PC unless it had been finalised in the DVD recorder first, which would of course stop the disc being edited. If you see what I mean...
Anybody know a way round this? or am I stuck with all the bits I don't want.
The HDD/DVD recorder is Sony, as is although its not marked as such the OEM fit DVD drive in the PC.
I can't find any help in the DVD/HDD manual.
PS. I do wish the producers of Wonders of the Solar System had reduced the volume level of the background music, I find it very distracting, spoiling the programme a bit for me.
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

Quote from: Petlew The HDD/DVD recorder is Sony ...
I have a Sony RDR-HXD870, and it can do exactly what you want ... but what model number do you have?
Lets assume you have a similar machine to mine, select 'Title List' then scroll up/down to select the program you wish to edit, then press the 'right button', this will give you a 'Modify/Edit' option, select that option, now select 'A<>B Edit', at this point you are now given the option to edit out parts of the program as you wish. However, I would practice doing this on a different program you do not care about, as it can take a little bit of getting use to.

It would seem to have a slightly different approach to that you describe godsell4: having selected the title required the menu that appears has the option "A-B erase" with a very easy to follow graphics screen to work from. I just didn't realise that's what it was further, I wondered why it wasn't covered in the manual. It seems it is, but with some of the most obscure Anglo/Japanese translations I've ever seen.
But thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Me too - they seem to do this to all the science programs.

Although I do find that Professor Brian Cox can lean a little to gentle over-enthusiasm, at times treating his audience like a junior school class. On the other hand he certainly gets his message over.

It was terrible - talk about dumbing down!!!
Quote ...Brian explains how its greatest power, gravity, reaches out for hundreds of billions of kilometres, where the lightest gravitational touch encircles our solar system in a mysterious cloud of comets...
(Comets aren't mysterious).

Any schoolkid could have told him that!

Is that each episode will be stored on a DL disc or the whole series on a DL disc?
In SP mode, you can get 4 hours onto a DL disc, or 2 hours onto a single layer disc. I am hoping you will not be saving this in anything lower quality than SP mode, even if you do not have an HD screen now, you probably soon will, and recording programs like this in lower than SP quality will annoy you when you watch it on a modern screen.

Quote from: godsell4 ... also annoying is the BBC have stopped get_iplayer working at the moment, was going to download the 3Mb HD stream of this series and archive them that way, but now I am going to have to archive them the same way you are.
get_iplayer is still working - but the --update parameter is not (at the request of the BBC, it is no longer publicly available - even though their own site lacks functionality).
So if you already have get_iplayer you can get it download modest quality flash (832 x 46

I still have get_iplayer.
