Precautions for using Click to DVD software

Recommended operating environment

CPU: Intel Pentium III or Celeron 800 MHz or faster (exclude Transmeta Crusoe)

Memory: 256MB or more

Display: XGA (1024768) 16-bit colors or more (Click to DVD software does not operate under SVGA.)

Before using Click to DVD software, refer to the Click to DVD help to configure your computer. Depending on your computer's environment, recorded video quality may differ from the original, even if your computer is configured correctly. It is recommended that you store valuable source material data. Sony bears no responsibility for damage to recorded content, or incidental damages caused by either malfunctions in this drive or its discs, or by external factors.

Close all other software (including software running in the background) before using Click to DVD software and Drag’n Drop CD+DVD software to write data.

You should have at least 256 MB of RAM in your computer when using Click to DVD software to write data. For details on expanding memory, refer to the manuals provided with your computer.

Data is written to DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, or DVD-RW discs, using the “Disc-at-once” format. Therefore, it is not possible to add data to the disc later. DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs can, however, be erased and reused.

The time required to write DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, or DVD-RW discs can very from a few hours to several dozen hours, depending on your computer model and the amount of the source material being written.

“Click to DVD Automatic Mode” temporarily stores data on your computer's hard disk drive, so there must be enough free space on the hard disk drive for using this mode. The values below provive a general guide for the amount of hard disk space required by “Click to DVD Automatic Mode” to create a DVD video of different lengths. “Click to DVD Automatic Mode” automatically adjusts the video bit rate (and, therefore, the image quality of the video) to accomodate different recording lengths. Shorter videos are recorded at higher bit rates, which offers better video image quality (when using only a video).
