Sonic MyDVD Video Projects A Sonic MyDVD video project is a way to group, organize, store, play, and burn related video and still digital files. For example, if you went on a family vacation, you might have digital still and video images, and prints from a film camera. You can transfer all these images onto your PC and organize them into a project. (A scanner is required to transfer printed photos and is not included.) A project can remain on your PC for playback and as an archive, and a project can be burned to a DVD or VCD disc. Sonic MyDVD enables you to create video projects using the following interfaces: ■ Standard program interface (described beginning in "Creating a Video Project" on page 82). ■ Direct-to-Disc Wizard (described beginning in "Creating a Video Project with Direct-to-Disc Wizard" on page 87). Note that the Direct-to-Disc Wizard does not include the editing features that are available from the standard interface. You can edit a project created with a wizard before burning it to a disc as described in: ■ "Editing the style of a video project" on page 85. ■ "Editing movie files" on page 85. Creating a Video Project To create a video project: 1 Click Start, choose All Programs, Sonic, and then DigitalMedia Home. 2 Click the Video tab to display the Video Guide. 3 Click Create Project, and then DVD or VCD depending on the type of project you want to create. A project named Untitled DVD-Video or Untitled VCD-Video is created and displayed in the MyDVD project window. 4 Click File and then Save As to change the name of your project from Untitled to a more descriptive name. After renaming your project, click Save.
