Editing MyDVD projects in DVDit Pro HD
DVDit Pro HD can open most projects created by Sonic MyDVD 4.x through 6.x. If you edit
and save a MyDVD project in DVDit Pro HD, you cannot open it again in MyDVD due to
the greater complexity of DVDit Pro HD projects.
To open a MyDVD project:
1. Choose File > Open.
2. In the Open dialog box, select Sonic DVD Project (*.dvd) from the Files of Type pop-
up menu.
3. Locate and select the MyDVD project file, which has a . dvd extension, and click Open.
DVDit Pro HD handles MyDVD projects as follows:
• Each movie and slideshow in the MyDVD project is a title in DVDit Pro HD. Movies
include any edits or transitions that were added in MyDVD’s video editor (but you
cannot change them).
• Chapter points in movies are preserved, and you can edit them or add more.
• Buttons and text appear in their original locations on menus as separate, editable
objects. For example, if you move or resize a movie button, its text label does not move
or change size.
• The project’s video, audio, and images (slides, menu backgrounds, and buttons) appear
in the appropriate asset lists in DVDit Pro HD’s Palette window. For example, video
files are listed on the Media tab.
