Creating DVDs with images loaded from a DV device
When using images loaded from a DV device to create DVDs, in addition to the free space required to create
the DVD, you also need enough free space to temporarily save loaded images. For example, to load a 30-
minute movie from the DV device, you need approximately 6.5 GB of free space on your computer's D: drive.
❑
Only connect one DV device to your computer at a time.
❑
Do not connect to a DV device while an i.LINK hard disk drive, i.LINK CD-RW drive, or i.LINK DVD-RW
drive is connected to your computer.
❑
If nothing happens when you click the button displayed in the Movie file list, check that the DV device's
power is turned on and that the cable is connected properly.
To create your DVDs, proceed as follows:
1
Connect the DV device to your computer, and switch to a mode that enables movie playback.
The
Digital Video Device
window appears.

When the DVD is created, a completion message appears and the disc drive tray automatically opens.

To change the maximum amount of time for loading images from a DV device, right-click the DV device icon
in the
Movie Files

Movie Files
list, and then

When the DV device is added to the
