5. After a minute or so, click the stop button (with the square symbol on it shown below) to stop the video capture
before the 1 hr. capture limit would have automatically stopped it for you. The display area should switch to the
'Author' tab where it should take a few seconds to author the DVD. Upon completion of the authoring, the
project is complete and your DVD has been created on the Hard Drive.
6. You may now play the DVD on the hard drive using a software DVD player. For help on using PowerDVD to
test your DVD before writing it to disc, go to 'Testing Your DVD using PowerDVD'.

Creating a DVD From Files on Your Hard Drive
Prerequisites
Creating DVD's from files on your hard disc requires that you to have some appropriate files to use. So, the first
question is, what kind of files can you create DVD's from?
1. Currently our DVD authoring only supports full D1 size video and we don't resize the frame size so your pre-
capture files will need to be full D1 size which is either 720x480 or 704x480 for NTSC or 720x576 or 704x576
for PAL.
2. Now, as for compression formats, we either support:
a)
DVD ready compression which is DVD compliant MPEG-2. This can come in several different formats.
-
Elementary streams where the audio and video are stored in separate files. Video files with the
following extensions *.mpv or *.m2v may but are not guaranteed to contain MPEG-2 video. Audio
files must also have the correct sampling rate for DVD's which is 48 KHz, 16 bit. The audio can be
compressed as MPEG layer 2 audio file which will typically have extension *.mpa or *.m2v. AC3
audio (*.ac3) of the correct sampling rate and size are is also acceptable.
-
MPEG-2 program streams are typically MPEG-2 video and MPEG layer 2 audio multiplexed into a
single stream. *.mpg is a common extension for this type of file.
-
VOB files are very similar to MPEG-2 program streams in format. They will typically be found in
the VIDEO_TS folders of DVD's. Do NOT try to use VOB files from copyrighted or encrypted
DVD's, it will not work.
