Creating a Video Project with the Direct-to-Disc Wizards

Sonic MyDVD includes Direct-to-Disc Wizards that guide you through the steps you must complete to create a DVD or VCD video project. A video project is a way to group, organize, store, play, and burn related video and still digital files.

1Connect your digital camcorder or Web camera to your PC.

2Click Start, choose All Programs, Sonic, and then DigitalMedia Home.

3Click the Video button and then Direct-to-Disc.

4Click DVD or VCD depending on the type of project you want to create. The Direct-to-VCD or Direct-to-DVD Wizard displays.

5Click Edit Style, and edit any of the following elements:

Background color and graphics on the menus and submenus

Button styles

Background music

Text format (font, color, and size)

Custom styles

Alternately, you can click No Menus in the Direct-to-Disc Wizard if you do not want to be able to select from multiple files in the project.

6Type a name for your project in the project name field.

7Click one of the following:

Record to DVD (or Record to VCD if you are creating a VCD project): Select the device, number of copies, and write speed.

Record to hard disk: The video capture is stored by default in the My DVDs folder. Click Location if you want to select a different folder.

8Click Next. The Capture screen displays.

Make sure the output from your digital camcorder appears in the Preview window. If it does not, double-check your connections and make sure your camera is in playback mode.

9Click Record Settings to edit any of the default settings.

10Optionally, set a capture length, chapter points, or scene detection. Click the corresponding Help icon to display the online Help for each of these features.

11Click one of the following:

Grab Frame — The image currently displayed in the Capture window is stored as a picture file (.jpg, .bmp, .gif, .tif, or .png format).

Start Capturing — Starts a video capture (.mpeg format).

12Click Stop Capturing to manually stop the capture if you did not set a capture length (step 10).

13A confirmation message displays stating the disc or file was created successfully. Click OK.
