Hi everyone.
I have just purchased and installed Easy Media Creator 9 Suite, but can't find any way of using the Creat DVD Video option within MCE 2005. It still only has the option to create a Data DVD.
I thought that now that I have the MyDVD module installed it should automatically include the option to create a Video DVD within Media Centre 2005.
I bought the suite simply to copy recorded TV programs to DVD to save hard disc space and also to be able to watch them at a later date on separate video recorder/TV set-up.
Is there something I need to do to get MCE to recognise/use the MyDVD module directly without having to exit Media Centre?
Kind Regards
Danny.

Not sure where you got that idea.  Videowave and MyDVD both will import dvr-ms files, but they are not accessible as 'modules' within MCE environment.  I burn TV shows almost every day for my sister that doesn't have cable.  I just run MyDVD, select DVD-no menu and add the dvr-ms file.  MyDVD converts it to MPEG 2 and burns.

Thanks for the reply.
Do you use MCE to record your TV?
I did have Cyberlink's DVD burner in conjunction with MCE some time ago and it was supplied with a .msi file that allowed it to be used from within the MCE environment. I thought that Creator 9 would be the same, especially when Roxio produced the original Sonic encoders for MCE 2005............

Yes,, I have MCE2005 on my HP.  I also own Cyberlink PowerDVD7 and that also has a MCE extension.  Sounds like a good feature idea though.
