These settings over-ride any capture setting you have previously selected in CapWiz. However, If you choose “Custom” - the DTD Wizard will use the custom capture settings you have selected in CapWiz.

Select Disc Drive:

If you have more than one Optical drive you can select the drive you want to use for disc burning.

The DTD Wizard will examine the drive and show the type of media supported by the drive. This will show the capabilities of your drive. Not all optical drives support burning to all media types.

You must have a blank CD or DVD disk in the disc drive before starting the DTD Wizard. When you select the drive the DTD Wizard not only examines the capability of your drive, but also detect the type of media in the drive. The Media Type will be displayed and the type of contents on the disc (if any) will also be displayed. You need to use a Blank disc for recording, so be sure that the “Contents detected on the disc” message shows that the disc is Blank.
