Creating a DVD From a Video Feed

1. | At this stage, the assumption is made that you have completed the Setup Wizard. Since the Quick Start Guide used the HOME Movie theme as an example, the following example creates a DVD with the HOME Movies DVD menu theme. If no Menu Theme is selected, the Setup Wizard was probably not correctly started. You can re-start the Setup Wizard by right-clicking on the application logo (located in the upper left hand corner of the RocketDVD user interface) and then selecting 'Setup Wizard...' from the popup menu.

2. | On the setup tab of the display area on the application enter the text as shown below:

4. | If the video is a live feed such as a TV or camera feed, simply press the play button. If it is a tape deck, queue the video to the desired starting place and then start it playing. You should click the play button very shortly after starting the video feed. Once capture has started, the green LED will be on without blinking and the display should automatically have switched to the 'Encode' tab shown below.

5. | After a minute or so, click the stop button (with the square symbol on it shown below) to stop the video capture before the 1 hr capture limit would have automatically stopped it for you. The display area should switch to the 'Author' tab where it should take a few seconds to author the DVD. Upon completion of the authoring, the project is complete and your DVD has been created on the Hard Drive.
