Recording back to a camcorder or VCR
The most exciting thing about Instant DVD is the ability to send your edited movies back to
your camcorder or VCR in excellent quality.
To record a movie to your camcorder or VCR:
1. Turn on your camcorder and set it to Play mode (or VTR / VCR mode). See your camcorder’s
manual for specific instructions.
Recording Window dialog
2. Select an MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 file from the
Library. If you want to use a project, make
sure you have already rendered it using
Create Video File.
3. Click the Storyboard Step or the Finish Step.
4. Click Export: USB Instant DVD.
5. The USB Instant DVD - dialog box opens.
6. Press Record on your VCR or Camcorder and
Click Click Play in the dialog box to begin
sending the video to your recorder.
7. You may hear the audio from your computer
during playback, but you will not see any
video on your computer screen. You can
monitor the capture via the LCD screen on
your camcorder, or split the audio and video
cables and view on a TV while recording to a
VCR.
8. Click Stop to stop playback. Click Close to
close the dialog box.
Note:Before recording a video file back to your camcorder via Instant DVD, make sure the video is saved with the correct
format. Only MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files can be exported through Instant DVD to your camcorder or VCR or for
display on a TV. This is because to get the file through the USB cable, it must be highly compressed and the
Instant DVD decoder decodes MPEG streams only.
