Sonic MyDVD Video Projects

A Sonic MyDVD video project is a way to group,
organize, store, play, and burn related video and still
digital files. For example, if you went on a family
vacation, you might have digital still and video images,
and prints from a film camera. You can transfer all these
images onto your HP Digital Entertainment Center and
organize them into a project. (A scanner is required to
transfer printed photos and is not included.)
Projects can remain on your HP Digital Entertainment
Center for playback and as an archive, and they can be
burned to a DVD or VCD disc.
