2. | Make sure your printers are turned on and have the correct paper. If using a single printer, the disc label will be printed first, followed by the case wrap and the chapter insert will be printed last. You must also have a blank DVD in the selected DVD writer. If not, when you try to start the project, it will prompt you for blank media. If you did not select default printers when you steped through the Wizard, you should do so now, otherwise you will get errors if you try to print.

3. | Repeat the steps used to create the DVD from a video feed or files on the hard drive.
|
|
4. | This time however, the project will not stop after the authoring stage but will proceed to the printing and writing stages.
|
|
5. | Once the printing and writing are complete, if you printed a paper label, you can apply the label to the DVD. You can also tear or cut the perforated case wrap and cut out the chapter insert. You should be able to use your DVD in most DVD players on the market today.

If you were happy with the DVD you had created on the hard drive and you simply want to print and burn the DVD without having to re-capture or re-author the DVD, your could simply have clicked on the 'Setup' tab as mentioned in step 1, checked the four boxes and then simply pressed the print button shown below:

Assuming you had not deleted the intermediate files from your work directory, the project would have started at the print stage and proceeded to the write stage.
|
|
If you had closed the application since you had created the DVD and had not reused the 'test' Project ID, you could simply load test.prj by clicking on the 'Load 'Project' button and selecting test.prj as the project file to open. From this point, you could click on the the print button which would perform the print and write stages.

It should be obvious that this is one way to make extra copies of a project provided the intermediate files are not removed.
