About YesDVD™

YesDVD allows you to transfer your videotapes
or other video content to a DVD+R/RW with
the professional quality features found in
Hollywood movies.
Whenever you record
or copy to DVD, you
can enable YesDVD to
automatically:
• Analyze your video, creating chapters at
natural scene breaks
• Generate an interactive Disc Menu with
thumbnails of each chapter for easy scene
selection
• Produce three Music Videos using the best
footage from your video, timed to the tempo
of the music
• Allow you to print a full-color DVD case
coversheet using images from your video.

the first recording from a blank DVD+R/RW
