Creating DVD Movies
Your DVD Writer/CD Writer drive allows you
to capture (copy), edit, and record your home
movies in a few easy steps by using the ArcSoft
ShowBiz
®
2 software program.
If you simply want to copy a video from your digital
camcorder to a DVD in the fewest steps, follow the
instructions in ”Creating a Quick DVD Movie.”
If you want to create a video project that combines
various video files and slideshows, and DVD menu
items, refer to the section ”Creating a Custom DVD
Movie.”
Both options allow you to re-edit your DVD movie
later if you choose.
