The video quality depends on your PC’s speed and graphics processing abilities. Some PCs may be unable to capture video at the HQ setting.

These are estimated recording times. The maximum duration is reduced if you use animated menu buttons or backgrounds.

To choose the audio format, see “Changing the audio format (DVDs only)” in the online help.

Your version of MyDVD may not support Dolby Digital audio. See the online Help for details.
