I have done my fist recordings.i finished with 3 video clips.was only able to use one.time restraints.per disk.
after i clicked ready to export button!at this point,my options are to change DVD title,click on file>preferences,Render Using/ what it the difference between selecting Hardware or Software?  if i click on
Edit Videos.what can i do here? take out commercials!  what do these do,add trim markers,remove all trims,
adjusting trim points. thanks os much

Everything pretty much does just what it says it does

Hardware Render utilizes your Video Card for processing... Software does not. The choice is based on your video Card performance! If you have an 'on-board chip', stick with Software! Likewise, if you get sound sync issues or jerky, blurry video (especially with movement), stick to Software   

Otherwise use Hardware. A disc or 2 of DVD RW is great to use to determine which is best!

With this Trim System, you can do multiple trims at one time before going to Export... Likewise, should you reach Export and realize you need another Trim, back up by clicking on the Tab at the top

Chip!

Yes it remembers what you have done to each clip... Try it!

YES for Renaming! Never noticed that you could do that   Thanks!

I was not able to tell a difference between rendering the hardware or software! is there a video quality difference between using transfer a single
VHS tape to a DVD,opposed to multiple video clips to a DVD? when its time for me to insert a blank DVD in the destination drive,a AUTO PLAY DVD RW DRIVE E
blank DVD options box comes up on the screen.should i click on one of the options? i normally just close the box.then go to the next step.
after have made my trial DVD RW. what is the easy way to erase it?  when i finish with the program,DVD IS DONE.A error box comes up after i click
the x to close. will have to look closer to catch what the error says.it has to do with RUN TIME.should i turn off the VCR before closing out
of the program first?  thanks

Could you please edit your post to make it readable.

     I think I can wade through that

Render – HW vs SW… You may not see a difference except when there is movement. Then if your HW is not up to snuff, it may blur during movement.

Otherwise, since your quality is not too great (VHS) to start with, it can be hard to see, But it can be made much worse if you try to exceed 1 hour per DVD!

As far as the Windows pop up when you insert a disc, you are correct, just close it with NO action. (it can be turned off in the Action Center but why bother?)

To erase a disc, use Windows Explorer, right click the disc and choose Erase. (only works with RW discs   )

As far as the order of exits, it doesn’t really matter.

in the box it also says there was a problem writing to the disc.i click ok,then the disc tray opens.thanks

Exporting as a DVD Movie?

Are the disc's BLANK!

Can you otherwise burn to them with Windows?

About how long is the total time for the Project?

Exporting as a DVD Movie! is that when you open your Archive folder & there is a play arrow on the video?

The disc are blank.used them for these projects before.DVD-R 8x

burn to them with Windows. I have before in the past.

how long.  the longest,totals about 1hr 20min. it states good on the quailty.  thanks

[Jim_Hardin]

? you said you were 'Exporting' video...

Maybe time for a screen cap or 2 - HERE

The time is a little excessive, we figure on 1 hour of best quality for a 4.7 GB DVD. If you reduce quality for the sake of fitting it on, visual quality goes down real fast!

do i have to trim my videos before i save them in the archive folder?
when i used the record DVD format! on step 11 of the owners manual, select a quality level.do i need to
move this? what if i put in over an hour on the set the recording duration? when i did put the time in
