Restrictions And Cautions - Sony VAIO PCG-FR215E Software Manual

Using Click to DVD

Restrictions and cautions

The following section gives you an overview of some restrictions and cautions. For a complete overview of
the restrictions and cautions, read the Restrictions and Cautions chapter in the Click to DVD Help.
Use the Click to DVD Project Administration Tool to help you manage your files (see Managing project
files with Click to DVD Project Administration Tool
To transfer a specific video segment or to edit your video, use the full Click to DVD software, rather than
the Click to DVD Automatic Mode software.
Use an i.LINK™ cable (not supplied) to connect DV devices to the computer. Click to DVD and Click to
DVD Automatic Mode will not work if you use a USB cable to make this connection.
When loading images from a device, do not turn off or unplug the device, and do not operate any of its
controls.
The video and audio compression method used by Click to DVD varies according to recording time. When
recording time exceeds the DVD capacity, audio is first compressed to AC-3 format. If the recording still
exceeds DVD capacity, the video bit rate is reduced.
When the Click to DVD Automatic Mode application is closed, any video that was loaded from a device
onto the computer's hard disk is deleted.
You need at least 24 GB of free space to create a 60 min DVD (High Quality) using the Click to DVD
software. A minimum of 10 GB is required when using the Click to DVD Automatic mode software to
create a DVD of the same length.
The amount of time needed to create a DVD depends on a variety of factors, including:
length of the video that you are recording;
processing speed of your computer;
DVD-writing speed of your DVD±RW drive;
number of chapter thumbnails that must be created for the DVD menu;
type of media used.
