how do I edit my video files?
Use Arcsoft ShowBiz to edit your videos. Some of the things you can do are:
■ combine videos, photos, and audio files into one movie
■ add text, transitions, and special effects
■ delete unwanted sections of a video
■ change a video’s brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, and speed
■ transfer video from your camcorder or VCR to your PC
■ save the movie in many different formats
■ export the movie to disc, digital video tape, or HP MyDVD
what you need
■ 1 blank disc or a rewritable disc that you don’t mind erasing (you need this
only if you do step 6)
recommended disc
DVD+R
Use to share your DVD movie with family and friends
because DVD+R discs are compatible with more DVD
players and DVD-ROMs than DVD+RW discs. R discs are
less expensive than RW discs, but they cannot be erased
and reused.
you can also use
DVD+RW
Use for temporary storage while creating your DVD movie
because the movie might go through several iterations
before you get it exactly how you want it. RW discs are
rewritable; you can watch the disc a few times, then erase
and reuse it.
Use if you want to be able to edit the DVD movie (see
“how do I edit a DVD movie disc?” on page 13).
CD-R
Use for permanent storage of a short video (see “how
much you can fit on a disc” on page 8). R discs are less
expensive than RW discs, but they cannot be erased and
reused.
