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 disc.
Important We recommend that you do not use your computer 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.
