About Recording Video Files
Video quality depends on the quality of the
source files, the PC speed, and its graphics’
processing ability.
If you need help creating or recording DVD
movies, refer to the Help files in the video editing
and recording programs.
Note: Your DVD Writer/CD Writer drive will not copy
commercially available DVD movies. Most
commercial DVDs are encoded to prevent
unauthorized duplication.
Disc Labels
Warning: When labeling your DVDs, do
not use sticky labels. They can cause the
DVD to play erratically. Instead, write on
the DVD with a felt tip pen to label it.
