Preparing to Use InterVideo WinDVD
Creator
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent loss of data and damage to a DVD:
Before writing to a DVD, connect the notebook to a reliable external
power source. Do not write to a DVD while the notebook is running
on battery power.
Before writing to a DVD, close all open applications (including
screen savers and antivirus software) except InterVideo WinDVD
Creator.
Do not copy directly from a DVD to another DVD or from a network
drive to a DVD. Instead, copy from a DVD or network drive to your
hard drive, and then copy from your hard drive to the DVD.
Do not type on the notebook keyboard or move the notebook while
the notebook is writing to a DVD. The write process is sensitive to
vibration.

Choosing Recording Media

HP recommends using high-quality media that correspond to the
maximum speed of the optical drive. The notebook can write or
copy to DVDs that provide one-time, non-erasable recording
(DVD+R) or to DVDs that provide erasable recording
(DVD+RW).
In order to write data to a DVD, you must use a blank DVD+R
disc or a DVD+RW disc on which the format has not been
finalized.
