Instant DVD Overview

Instant DVD is a fun and easy way to get DVD, SVCD and VCD video into your Windows PC so you can edit or archive your home movies. Instant DVD then lets you publish the video to CD or DVD disk or publish to the Internet or send the video back to a VCR or camcorder for distribution on Tape.
