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 to create a DVD image on your hard
disk, 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.” 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.
Using WinDVD
To install WinDVD, go to the
″Software″
section of the Software and User’s Guide
Super CD.
After you install the Multi-Burner Plus drive and WinDVD software, you can view
a DVD movie. But first you need to set the DVD region code for your DVD
content.
DVD region codes
DVD region codes help protect the contents of a DVD. The world is divided into
six regions and specific content can be viewed only in the appropriate region. For
example, content for Region 1 can be viewed only in the U.S. and Canada.
WinDVD is also region–specific.
You can verify the region code of the content by looking at the region code symbol
on the back of the content packaging.
Region code Region
1 U.S., Canada
2 Europe, Middle East, South Africa, Japan
3 Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Korea
4 Latin America, Australia, New Zealand
5 Former Soviet Union, North Africa, India
6 People’s Republic of China
Start WinDVD by inserting the DVD into the drive. The region code is
automatically set and you can view the movie. This is the initial setting.
After the region code has been set, if you insert a DVD with a different region
code, you are prompted to change the region code. You can change the region code
from your initial setting up to four times.
After the region code has been changed from its initial setting four times, it is fixed
and can no longer be changed. Thereafter, you can play DVD content only from
that region.
To display the region code status, click the WinDVD Properties button on the
WinDVD user interface. The General tab contains this information.
