The Create module of the program is where you actually put together your DVD (or VCD).

Step 1. Launch the program and click "Create" at the top of the screen to go to the Create module.

Step 2. From the Media tab, choose the album that has the video clips you wish to add.

Step 3. Double-click the video clip you want to add. The video clip appears on the DVD menu as a new chapter. Add all the video chapters that you plan on including in your movie. You can choose video clips from several different albums.

Step 4. Once your content is added, you can customize the look and feel of your menu by changing the background, title, and chapter button layout and text. Menu customization options are covered in detail in Section 7.10.

Step 5. Introduction videos play as soon as the disc is inserted into a DVD player. Once the introduction video clip completes, the main movie menu is shown. To add an introduction video, click and drag the desired video from the album area to the Introduction Video box.

Step 6. Click the Write Disc tab to burn your movie to disc. You can preview the movie first, or just click Start. More details on burning your movie to disc are in Section 7.11.
