Using MyDVD to Copy Recorded TV Programs to DVD

You can use MyDVD to write your recorded TV shows to DVD for viewing and playing in a home DVD player.

Your MyDVD program has an icon called Get Recorded TV Shows.

When you click this icon, the Shared Documents folder on the hard disk drive (C drive) opens and lists your recorded TV shows by name.

The recording quality determines the size of the file created for the recorded program. Best is the pre-set recording quality setting. A two-hour program recorded at Best quality produces a large file that will not fit on one DVD. The following table lists the recording quality and the estimated number of minutes that fit onto one DVD.
