Before You Begin Capturing Video

You can capture (copy) video files to your hard disk
drive by using the Sonic MyDVD program. Among

from a VCR or an analog video camera.
To capture video files, you need to:
1
Connect your video source device according
to the device's instructions.
2
Turn your device on and set it to
playback mode.
