Once the disc has been initialized you will see the record confirmation dialog box. Recording will not start until you click
the "YES" button. This provides you the opportunity to cue up your video to the exact start position. Once you click
YES, recording will start in approx. 1 second. If you decide you are not ready or you want to make a change to any
record settings, click NO to return to the Step 2 Wizard screen.
Recording to Disc:
Once you have started to capture directly to optical disc you will see the preview video screen appear and the CapWiz
indicator will display "Recording DTD".
CapWiz will also display the current record time as well as audio and video formats being recorded. After 30-40 sec-
onds you will see the indicator LED on your optical drive begin to flash. This indicates that audio and video are being
written to your disc.
Once the duration time has been reached or after you have stopped capture the navigation menu will be written to disc
and the disc will be finalized so it is ready to play in a DVD player or with DVD player software on your PC.
