To create a video DVD:

Insert a blank, writable DVD-R or DVD-RW disc into your recordable DVD
drive. You cannot use a DVD-RAM disc to create a video DVD.

2

If a CD Drive dialog box opens, click

Take no action

, then click

OK

.

Use your video authoring and recording program, such as Pinnacle
Expression, to create video DVDs. For more information about using the
program that came with your computer, see its online help.

After you connect your digital camcorder to your computer, creating a video
DVD typically consists of three basic steps: capture the video, edit the video,
and record the video to a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc.
