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 (page 100)).
❑ 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.
