MyDVD: Get Started

This application allows you to capture, author & publish MPEG-1 (VCD) & MPEG-2 (DVD) video to CD or DVD disc.

CD-R/RW Discs

VCD on CD: 60-70 minutes of MPEG-1 video

DVD on CD* - 30-40 minutes of MPEG-2 (DVD) video on CD.

DVD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW Discs

DVD - Up to 2 hours of DVD audio and video on a 4.7 GB DVD disk. Select from Good, Better or Best Quality video setting. The higher the quality, the smaller amount of video will fit on a disc.

*When DVD on CD is selected, a DVD software player is auto- matically burned on the CD so you can distribute to any Windows user and they can playback the disk. No need for a DVD-ROM drive.
