Digital: This audio stream format, developed by Dolby Laboratories,

saves space by transmitting only the data that is necessary to portray the

original sound minimizing the space allotted on a DVD for audio soundtracks.

NOTE: neoDVDplus also includes a Smart Buffering

feature that is compatible with all

commercially available DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW drives. Smart

Buffering allows users to reduce the minimum Hard Disk Drive requirements for PCs

that are too slow to achieve real-time DV to DVD transcoding, or where system

resources are being used for a number of different tasks. Typically, when a PC lacks the

minimum processing speed required for real-time performance, the software buffers the

incoming video on the Hard Disk Drive while waiting for the CPU to finish its current task.

With Smart Buffering, neoDVDplus pauses the camcorder instead of buffering the video

onto the hard drive. By automatically controlling the camcorder when using a DVD+RW

drive, neoDVDplus can transcode DV to DVD on PCs with as little as 400MB of Hard

Disk space.

13 DVD, VCD, and miniDVD Playback

You MUST have DVD player software installed on your PC in order to play back DVD

files from your Hard Disk Drive.

Your PC will probably have DVD playback software already installed, in which case it will

automatically detect the disc and begin playing. If you do not have DVD playback

software installed on your machine, you will have to purchase the software from your

local retailer.

You can also play back DVDs and VCDs created with neoDVDplus on your DVD set-top

box. You need to verify that your box supports the playback of the recordable media. If

you are not sure what recordable media your set-top box plays back, contact your set-

top box manufacturer.

neoDVDplus also allows you to create a miniDVD, which is a DVD video created on a

CD. A miniDVD allows you to store approximately ten to fifteen minutes of DVD quality

video.
