Burn a VCD or DVD movie to disk

VIDEO STUDIO: DVD-WIZARD AT THE FINISH STEP

To use the DVD-Wizard you first save your movie into VCD, SVCD or DVD format and then the DVD-Plug-in will appear and allow you to quickly and easily author and burn your movie to disk.

If all you want to do is capture and burn you can skip all the other video editing features and jump to the Finish step after you have captured your video.

VCD and SVCD movies can be burned on a CD-ROM disk. DVD movies can also be burned on a CD-ROM disk, but you are limited to about 20 minutes of DVD quality video on a CD. If you have a DVD recorder, you can get about 2 hours of DVD quality video on a 4.7 GB DVD disk.

Video Studio also supports publishing SVCD (MPEG-2 at 2.4 megabits/sec.) to a CD-ROM. SVCD is playable in many home DVD players. You can fit about 35-40 minutes of SVCD content on a 700 MB CD disk.

MYDVD: CAPTURE AND BURN EITHER VCD (CD-ROM) OR DVD (CD-ROM OR DVD DISK) MOVIES

You select the type of video you wish to publish, select the background template and either import video or capture video from Instant DVD. Once you have updated the template and button text to customize your movie, click “Make Disk” and you will step through the process to burn your movie to disk.

When capturing video, MyDVD will check for a CD or DVD burner installed on your system and it will determine how many minutes of VCD or DVD video (depending upon your selection) will fit on the disk. If you want to make a DVD on a CD disk (sometimes called “mini-DVD”), a software DVD player will automatically be burned to the disk so you can distribute to any Windows PC with a CD player. The DVD player will automatically load so the DVD movie can be played. This is a great way to distribute high quality DVD video to people who may not have a DVD- ROM on their PC.

If you have a DVD recorder (burner) you can produce DVD videos that will play in many home DVD players.

With a CD burner you can produce a VCD (MPEG-1) movie that will play in many home DVD players.
