Editing Video Files
You can use the ArcSoft ShowBiz™ program to edit your video files before you save them to your hard drive or record them to CDs or DVDs.
Important: To create video files with a standard DVD format that can be played in most DVD players, you must record files by using MyDVD.
Editing video with ShowBiz
Note: ShowBiz may not be included with your PC model.
In ShowBiz, you have the option to import, edit, and record your video files directly to CDs or DVDs. If you record your video files by using ShowBiz instead of MyDVD, your DVD or VCD will not have a customized background, titles, or chapter buttons and it will not be able to be played in a DVD player. To have these format and playback options, you must export the file to MyDVD, choose the formatting settings, and then record the video file to disc by using MyDVD.

ShowBiz and MyDVD are linked with the Create (in ShowBiz) and Edit Video (in MyDVD) buttons. This means you can:
Import your video files from your camcorder, your hard drive, or other digital source by using ShowBiz or MyDVD.
Edit your files in ShowBiz, or if you imported your files by using MyDVD, you can send these files to ShowBiz by clicking the Edit Video button. This automatically opens the video files in ShowBiz for editing.
Save your video files to CD or DVD from ShowBiz by using the Create button. You can send your video files back to MyDVD by clicking Create and then selecting MyDVD Project. MyDVD records your edited video file to a CD or DVD in a DVD format that can be viewed from some DVD players.
