Sonic MyDVD Video Projects

A Sonic MyDVD video project is a way to group, organize, store, play, and burn related video and still digital files. For example, if you went on a family vacation, you might have digital still and video images, and prints from a film camera. You can transfer all these images onto your HP Digital Entertainment Center and organize them into a project. (A scanner is required to transfer printed photos and is not included.)

Projects can remain on your HP Digital Entertainment Center for playback and as an archive, and they can be burned to a DVD or VCD disc.

Sonic MyDVD enables you to create video projects using the following interfaces:

Standard program interface (described beginning in “Creating a video project” on page 90).

Direct-to-Disc wizard (described beginning in “Creating a Video Project with the Direct-to-Disc Wizard” on page 95).

Note that the Direct-to-Disc wizard does not include the editing features that are available from the standard interface. You can edit a project created with a wizard before burning it to a disc as described in:

“Editing the style of a video project” on page 93.

“Editing movie files” on page 93.

1Click Start, choose All Programs, Sonic, and then DigitalMedia Home.

4Click File and then Save to change the name of your project from Untitled to a more descriptive name. After renaming your project, click Save.
