import and edit your own video and audio files, then save them into any supported format. The supported formats include MPEG-1, MPEG-2, ASF, WMV, and AVI. When you have prepared your video and audio files, by going through the “Capture” and “Edit” steps, you can then add a customized menu from within the “Author” function. You can import your own still images to use as menu backgrounds or select one of the sample images. When your movie is ready, proceed to “Make Movie” where you can select the output format and video standard used in creating your movie. Burn your movie to disc or save it to the hard disk for burning later. If you use WinDVD Creator Plus to create a DVD image on your hard disk, you can select “Load Image to Burn” from the Project menu.

WinDVD Creator Plus also offers the capability to record video directly to DVD recordable media using “Disk Manager.” This is done without using any additional space on your hard disk. With Disk Manager, you can capture new video or use video files you already have, and then finish your movie by creating a customized menu. Your movie can be created in either +VR or –VR video formats. Through Disk Manager, you can edit your movie at any time, adding or deleting video segments or changing your customized menu.

Installing WinDVD and viewing a DVD movie

To install WinDVD, go to the ″Software″ section of the Software and User’s Guide Super CD.

After you install the Multi-Burner drive and WinDVD software, you can view a DVD movie. But first you need to set the DVD region code for your DVD content.

DVD region codes

DVD region codes help protect the contents of a DVD. The world is divided into six regions and specific content can be viewed only in the appropriate region. For example, content for Region 1 can be viewed only in the U.S. and Canada.

WinDVD is also region–specific.

You can verify the region code of the content by looking at the region code symbol on the back of the content packaging.

Region code

Region

 

 

1

U.S., Canada

 

 

2

Europe, Middle East, South Africa, Japan

 

 

3

Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Korea

 

 

4

Latin America, Australia, New Zealand

 

 

5

Former Soviet Union, North Africa, India

 

 

6

People’s Republic of China

 

 

Start WinDVD by inserting the DVD into the drive. The region code is automatically set and you can view the movie. This is the initial setting.

After the region code has been set, if you insert a DVD with a different region code, you are prompted to change the region code. You can change the region code from your initial setting up to four times.
