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, refer to the online WinDVD
Creator User’s Guide on the User’s Guide and Software CD.
The main function areas within the WinDVD Creator 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 of the following supported formats: 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.
Write your movie to disc or save it to the hard disk drive for writing later. If you use WinDVD Creator
Plus to create a DVD image on your hard disk drive, you can select Load Image to Burn from the Project
menu.
WinDVD Creator also offers the capability to record video directly to DVD-recordable media using Disk
Manager without using any additional space on the hard disk drive. With Disk Manager, you can capture
new video or use video files that you already have, and then finish your movie by creating a customized
menu. Your movie can be created in +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: +/-VR formatted disks have limited compatibility in older set-top DVD players.
