Creating 3D Optical Discs in MyDVD

Roxio MyDVD can create standard definition and high definition 3D optical discs from 2D

and 3D input. This tutorial details the workflow.

Getting Started:

1. Run MyDVD. To run MyDVD, in Creator, click “Video/Movies” on the left, and then

“Create DVDs.”

2. Choose the project type. MyDVD opens to the project selection screen. On the top right,

click “3D,” then choose whether to produce a Standard Definition DVD, which will play

on any DVD player, or a High Definition AVCHD Disc, which can record about 30

minutes of HD 3D content onto a traditional recordable/rewriteable DVD (60 minutes

for dual-layer discs), but can only play on a Blu-ray Disc player. Then, choose

“Anaglyph” to create a disc you can view on a standard computer monitor or

television, or “RealD” to create a disc on a system equipped with RealD 3D viewing

technology.
