Third: If you don't title your video BEFORE you start recording, it's too late. (It's not the brightest bulb on the tree, this program.) By the way, a regular single-layer DVD holds about one hour's worth of video (4GB), and a double-layer DVD holds 2 hours (8GB). It may take the program a few tries to figure out what you did, but it will find the files eventually. If your C: drive is running out of room, change the default directory, under Preferences.

A 30 minute video tape equals 2GB of file space, and it adds up quickly. Again, go up to File and go into Preferences, and you can select where you want your soon-to-be-huge video folder to be. Second: where are my files? By default, it puts them in your User/Video folder on your C: drive. You can convert a bunch of videos into one (or more projects), and when it comes time to burn a DVD or whatever, 'import' your files into a project and you're ready to burn.The video files remain on your computer, just make sure you don't check the box that says 'and delete the source video while you're at it.' Which leads to. A project, by the way, is just a container for your videos. Where's your project? Use the icon on the right, *or* go to File, Open Project. You start up the program, and there's those two icons. But let's assume you do that: you close the program and come back later. You can close the program and your project is saved. There's no 'save project' option, but that's ok, it's saved. Create your new project, and then import the video (easy peasey).

The one on the right is for starting a project, opening the last project you were working on last time (most programs just do that by default), or you can choose a different project. The one on the left is for converting a video directly to a DVD.

The dumbed-down interface can be pretty frustrating, so here's a few things I learned which you may find helpful.įirst: when the program starts up, there's two giant icons. Though you can convert a VHS tape directly to DVD with this program/hardware combo, most likely you're going to want to convert your tapes to files on your computer first and then assemble them into a project for burning (or uploading to YouTube, etc.).
