Using Intervideo WinDVD Creator
With Intervideo WinDVD Creator, you can capture, edit, and record video and audio files. You can also
use Intervideo WinDVD Creator to create and record DVD videos using your own video and audio files.
For more detailed information on Intervideo’s WinDVD Creator features, go to the WinDVD Creator Plus
User’s Guide on the Lenovo USB 2.0 Super Multi-Burner Drive (With LightScribe) Software and User’s Guide
Super CD.
The main function areas within the WinDVD Creator Plus main window are “Capture,” “Edit,” “Author,”
and “Make Movie”. From these functions, you can import and edit your own video and audio files, then
save them into any supported format. The supported formats include MPEG-1, MPEG-2, ASF, WMV, and
AVI. When you have prepared your video and audio files, by going through the “Capture” and “Edit”
steps, you can then add a customized menu from within the “Author” function. You can import your
own still images to use as menu backgrounds or select one of the sample images. When your movie is
ready, proceed to “Make Movie” where you can select the output format and video standard used in
creating your movie. Burn your movie to disc or save it to the hard disk for burning later. If you use
WinDVD Creator Plus to create a DVD image on your hard disk, you can select “Load Image to Burn”
from the Project menu.
WinDVD Creator Plus also offers the capability to record video directly to DVD recordable media using
“Disk Manager.” This is done without using any additional space on your hard disk. With Disk Manager,
you can capture new video or use video files you already have, and then finish your movie by creating a
customized menu. Your movie can be created in either +VR or –VR video formats. Through Disk
Manager, you can edit your movie at any time, adding or deleting video segments or changing your
customized menu.
Note: Rendering large layouts can take several hours, depending on the processor power and hard disc
speed of your host pc.
