Selecting a template
Templates provide settings that can get you started as quickly as possible. When choosing a template, first know the attributes of the sources you are going to use in the project. Video sources can be already existing video files in your hard drive or still to be captured scenes from your capturing device. Templates displayed have been customized to work with Instant DVD. Choose the VCD, SVCD or DVD template that matches your video project goal.
