You can open and edit any projects that you have
already recorded to your hard drive, DVD, or CD
disc. You do not have to store your video, audio, or
graphic files on your hard drive in order to edit
your projects.
For more information on advanced editing, see
"What about advanced editing?" on page 4.

Make edits to your project
From the menu editor, you can:
• Add and edit video clips
• Create additional menus
• Delete buttons
• Change menu styles
• Modify menu and buttons labels
Add Video Clips
When creating movie clips, you can use chapter
points to separate your video into one or more
sections that are linked to menu buttons.
If you add chapter points while capturing your
video, MyDVD creates menu buttons for each
chapter point and labels them consecutively with
the project name. For example, if the project name
was "My Hockey Games," then chapter point
menu buttons would be "My Hockey Games 1,"
"My Hockey Games 2," and so on.
If you do not add chapter points, MyDVD creates a
single menu button that links to the captured clip.
