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.
