CaptyDVD: Author and Publish to DVD
CaptyDVD Starts where you left off with PixeDV. It takes the MPEG2 movies that you 
have captured and publishes the MPEG2 les into a DVD Movie.
This process of “making” a DVD movie is known as “AUTHORING”.
Authoring with CaptyDVD provides the easiest, professional level package available in 
the market today.
With fully customizable chapter menu’s, backgounds and even a built-in button maker, 
CaptyDVD provides the best value compared to IDVD and DVD Studio Pro from Apple.
CaptyDVD has a built-in DVD Burning Engine that allows you to burn your DVD Project 
into blank DVD disks by using Apple’s Superdrive or any external rewire DVD Burner.
Currently, every external Firewire DVD Burner that you can buy uses either a Panasonic 
or Pioneer drive. You can also take an internal IDE DVD Burner from either Panasonic or 
Pioneer and mount them inside an external 1394 enclosure. 
You can purchase the PYRO Drive Kit which ADS Technologies also manufactures. This 
is an external rewire enclosure that accepts any IDE device (hard drive, cd rom, dvd 
rom, dvdr) and convert the devices to rewire.
For more information about the PYRO Drive Kit, please check our website:

VCD Authoring
For VCD movies, CaptyDVD can make a VCD volume. Which means you can Author a 
VCD Disk but NOT actually burn it. You can simply make and save the VCD volume to 
your drive. You can then drag that volume into Roxio’s latest TOAST software for burning 
VCD’s on the Mac.
This was intentionally done since Roxio offers better compatibility than any other CDRW 
burning software in the market today.
