About Recording Video Files

Video quality depends on the quality of the source files, the PC speed and its graphics processing ability.

If you need help creating or recording DVD movies, refer to the Help files in the video editing and recording programs.

NOTE: Your DVD Writer/CD Writer drive will not copy commercially available DVD movies. Most commercial DVDs are encoded to prevent unauthorised duplication.

Disc Labels

WARNING: When labelling your DVDs, do not use sticky labels. They can cause the DVD to play erratically. Instead, write on the DVD with a felt tip pen to label it.
