Creating DVD Movies Your DVD Writer/CD Writer drive allows you to capture (copy), edit, and record your home movies in a few easy steps by using the ArcSoft ShowBiz® 2 software program. If you simply want to copy a video from your digital camcorder to a DVD in the fewest steps, follow the instructions in "Creating a Quick DVD Movie." If you want to create a video project that combines various video files and slideshows, and DVD menu items, refer to the section "Creating a Custom DVD Movie." Both options allow you to re-edit your DVD movie later if you choose. Creating a Quick DVD Movie To create a quick DVD Movie by using ArcSoft ShowBiz 2: 1 Click Start, choose All Programs, Video, ArcSoft ShowBiz 2, and then click ShowBiz 2 Wizard. In this window, select Create a "Quick DVD." 2 Insert a blank DVD+R or DVD+RW disc into your drive: • If your DVD+RW disc has files on it, ShowBiz 2 prompts you to erase them.
