Click the Record to Disc button to begin the recording process. Before actual direct to disc
recording can take place, the CD-R or DVD disc must be initialized. The initialization process
can take from a couple of seconds or up to a minute depending upon your disc drive and media
type. When you click the Record to Disc button you will be presented with the “Disc Initialization
Advisory” message. This message is to advise you of the initialization process. After you are
familiar with this process you can select “Don’t show again” and the message will not appear in
future recording sessions.
Ready to Record:
Once the disc has been initialized you will see the record confirmation dialog box. Recording will
not start until you click the “YES” button. This provides you the opportunity to cue up your video to
the exact start position. Once you click YES, recording will start in approx. 1 second. If you decide
you are not ready or you want to make a change to any record settings, click NO to return to the
Step 2 Wizard screen.
Recording to Disc:
Once you have started to capture directly to optical disc you will see the preview video screen
appear and the CapWiz indicator will display “Recording DTD”.
CapWiz will also display the current record time as well as audio and video formats being recorded.
After 30-40 seconds you will see the indicator LED on your optical drive begin to flash. This
indicates that audio and video are being written to your disc.
Once the duration time has been reached or after you have stopped capture the navigation menu
will be written to disc and the disc will be finalized so it is ready to play in a DVD player or with DVD
player software on your PC.
