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, 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.
