About Copying Recorded TV Programs to DVD
You can use InterVideo WinDVD Creator to copy
your recorded TV programs to DVD (select models
only) for viewing and playing on your PC and in
some set-top box DVD players.
With WinDVD Creator you can import your
recorded TV programs that are automatically stored
in your Shared Documents folder on your C: drive,
and then record your recorded programs onto CDs
and DVDs.
The recording quality determines the size of the file
created for the recorded program.
Best
is the pre-set
recording quality setting. A two-hour program
recorded set to Best produces a large file that does
not fit on one DVD. The following table lists the
recording quality and the estimated number of
minutes that fit onto one DVD.
The InterVideo WinDVD Creator program shows
you the available CD or DVD space.
You cannot change the recording quality of a
program after it is recorded.
