Creating DVD Movies
Your DVD Writer/CD Writer drive allows you to
capture, or copy, edit, and record your home
movies in a few easy steps by using the Sonic
MyDVD software program.
If you simply want to copy a video file to disc in
the fewest steps, follow the instructions in
”Creating a Quick DVD Movie.”
If you want to create a video project that
combines various video files and slideshows,
refer to the section ”Creating a Custom DVD
Movie.”
Both options allow you to edit your DVD movie
when you are creating your disc or later if you
choose.
