Make edits to your project

From the menu editor, you can:

Add and edit video clips

Create additional menus

Delete buttons

Change menu styles

Modify menu and buttons labels

Add Video Clips

When creating movie clips, you can use chapter points to separate your video into one or more sections that are linked to menu buttons.

If you add chapter points while capturing your video, MyDVD creates menu buttons for each chapter point and labels them consecutively with the project name. For example, if the project name was “My Hockey Games,” then chapter point menu buttons would be “My Hockey Games 1,”“My Hockey Games 2,” and so on.
