Chapter 5: Quick DVD

5.1Quick DVD Steps

The Quick DVD wizard guides you through the following steps. You can start the Quick DVD wizard at any time by selecting File > Quick DVD.

1.Choose the drive to which your DVD will be saved. You can choose either a DVD writeable (or rewriteable) drive, or your hard drive.

2.Choose the type of DVD that you'd like to create.

DVD-Video discs are playable on most set-top DVD players. DVD+VR and DVD-VR discs can be edited on most DVD+VR and DVD-VR recorders, respectively. Double-layer DVD+R discs are also supported. Choose the option that best suits your needs. If you have a DVD recorder, verify which format (DVD+VR or DVD- VR) is supported so that you make the right choice.

3.Choose the option that best describes the total length of your movie. The shorter the time, the higher the quality (depending on your choice, the program will automatically select the bit rate, which affects the video quality).

The exact choices offered here are dependent on your audio setting (under "DVD Options"). Using MPEG or Dolby audio allows up to around 4 hours for a single-layer DVD, or up to around 8 hours for a double-layer DVD. (Dolby may not be available in all versions of the program.) PCM audio allows up to around 2.5 hours for single-layer DVD and up to around 5 hours for a double- layer DVD.

4. The program then searches for a connected video device.

If no device is found, you can still create a DVD from existing video clips on your computer. If this is the case, skip to step 6.

5.Choose if you would like to create a DVD from saved

video files, capture one video to DVD, or capture multiple videos to DVD. Here's what happens when you select each option:
