Preparing to Use InterVideo WinDVD Creator
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent loss of work and damage to a DVD:
Before writing to a DVD, connect the notebook to a reliable external
power source. Do not write to a DVD while the notebook is running
on battery power.
Before writing to a DVD, close all open applications (including
screen savers and antivirus software) except InterVideo WinDVD
Creator.
Do not copy directly from a DVD to another DVD or from a network
drive to a DVD. Instead, copy from a DVD or network drive to your
hard drive, then copy from your hard drive to the DVD.
Do not type on the notebook keyboard or move the notebook while
the notebook is writing to a DVD. The write process is sensitive to
vibration.
Choosing Recording Media
HP recommends using high-quality media that correspond to the
maximum speed of the optical drive. The notebook can write or
copy to DVDs which provide one-time, non-erasable recording
(DVD+R) or to DVDs which provide erasable recording
(DVD+RW).
In order to write data to a DVD, you must use a blank DVD+R
disc or a DVD+RW disc on which the format has not been
finalized. For more information about choosing media for use
with WinDVD Creator, select Help on the WinDVD Creator
menu bar.
Creating DVDs
To open InterVideo WinDVD Creator, select Start > All
Programs > InterVideo WinDVD Creator> InterVideo WinDVD
Creator.
For instructions on creating DVDs, select Help on the WinDVD
Creator menu bar.
