Both Camera and VTR/VCR modes can be used with neoDVDplus. To change modes

while running neoDVDplus, switch off your camcorder, WAIT FOR A FEW SECONDS,

then switch your camcorder to the desired mode. On most camcorders, the mode switch

also controls the power, and the Off setting is between the Camcorder and VCR/VTR

settings. It is best to switch the camcorder off for a few seconds before resetting the

operation mode.

8 Getting Started

To launch neoDVDplus, double-click on the neoDVDplus icon on your desktop, or follow

Windows convention: click on the Start button in the lower left-hand corner of the

Windows desktop and select > Program > MedioStream > neoDVDplus.

The neoDVDplus Welcome window appears. It contains launch icons for the CAPTURE,

CREATE, AND COPY modules, as well as brief descriptions of what you can do within

each module. You can access the neoDVDplus modules from the Welcome window each

time you launch the application, or use the NEO TaskBar to access a module. Click on

the Don’t show me again checkbox if you want the NEO TaskBar to appear each time

you launch neoDVDplus instead of the Welcome screen. You can perform three activities

CAPTURE: This module allows you to transfer your videotape or live video

from your camcorder or VCR and save it on your computer’s Hard Disk

Drive in an editable format. Once saved, you can perform video editing (using a

third-party application) and other functions before authoring and burning the video to

disc using the CREATE module. You can capture live input and save it in MPEG-1,

MPEG-2, or AVI formats.
