The MyDVD program shows you the available DVD space.

MyDVD displays a message you when you’ve selected too many shows (or the required space is too large) to go onto the DVD. In this case, use the MyDVD program to “tip and tale” trim the file, creating two smaller files to store onto two independent DVDs.

You cannot change the recording quality of a program after it is recorded.

To change the Recording Quality setting:

1Click Start, and then click Media Center.

2Click Settings, TV/DVD, Recorder, and then click Defaults.

3Select the Quality option, and then change the setting to Good. Click OK, and then click OK again to enter the change.

Standby Mode and Scheduled Recordings

You should always close Media Center before you manually place the PC in Standby mode to avoid file corruption and other recording problems.

Note: If Live TV or other media is playing in Media Center, the PC won’t go into Standby mode automatically.
