Using Plug & Burn
™
When creating a video disc, you can automatically import video from your
DV camcorder using the Plug & Burn feature. You can import the entire
tape or only a portion of the tape. After importing, you can immediately
start recording your disc, or add other video or slideshows from your hard
disk before recording.
When you play your completed video disc, you see a menu containing a
button for each video you imported.
To import video:
1 Start a new Video CD, Super Video CD or DVD-Video project:
■
See Making a Video CD on page 89.
■
See Making a Super Video CD on page 91.
■
See Making a DVD-Video on page 93.
Choose any optional disc settings before beginning the Plug & Burn.
2 Connect your DV camcorder to your computer via a Firewire cable
and set it to playback (VCR) mode.
In a few seconds, a camcorder icon appears in the Content Area.
3 Use the camera controls next to the camcorder icon to fast-forward or
rewind to the point where you want to begin importing. If you want to
import from the beginning of the tape, skip this step.
4 Click Import.
5 Choose Plug & Burn options:
■
Clip Description: Enter text for the menu button on the TV
menu for this video.
■
Import: Select the amount of video (in minutes) you want to
import. Choose Entire Tape to import all the video on the DV
tape.
