Creating video DVDs

Use your movie creator software to create 

video

 DVDs. For more information 

about using the movie creator software that came with your notebook, see its 
online help.

After you connect your digital camcorder to your notebook, 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.

To create a video DVD:

1

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 dialog box opens, click 

Take no action

, then click 

OK

.

3

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 notebook, see its online help.

Important

We recommend that you do not use your notebook for 
other tasks while creating DVDs.

Important

If you record copyrighted material on a DVD, you need 
permission from the copyright owner. Otherwise, you may 
be violating copyright law and be subject to payment of 
damages and other remedies. If you are uncertain about 
your rights, contact your legal advisor.
