DVD. You can import your own still images or select sample images as menu backgrounds. You can also
preview your video during the authoring process. When your movie is ready, you can save the output as
files on your hard disk drive, burn the output to a medium, or save the output as a medium image for
later burning.
To capture images from a camera, select the Capture task in Creator Business Edition, or select the Roxio
