To delete the unwanted scenes in the Preview Video mode you will need to switch into this mode using the appropriate button of the Main Panes. After that select the scene with the mouse. First select the beginning of the scene with the left mouse button and without releasing it drag it to the ending limit of the scene. You can move the boundaries after that with the mouse.

Use the Zoom buttons to change the scale of the movie on the Timeline. This is done to simplify the accurate search for the place where the scene begins and ends:

	- use this button to scale up the video timeline representation, that is very useful when you would like to find the exact place in your captured video;
	- use this button to scale down the video timeline representation, that can be useful when you search for the next place in your captured video;
	- use this button to return to actual video representation in the Timeline, that can be useful to view all the changes you've made to your captured video.

You can also set the precise boundaries of the selection you make. To do that click the Set Selection Range button of the Deletion Toolbar or the Selection Range... item in the Top Menu. The following window will be opened:

You can set the selection starting point (hours: minutes: seconds: thousandths of seconds) and the final point for the selection (hours: minutes: seconds: thousandths of seconds). If the View changes immediately option is marked, you will be able to see the changes in the Preview Area in real time when you make them. But it can slow down the process of the boundaries change especially when editing very long files. So it could be advisable to unmark this option, change the selection boundaries and click the respective Set button to see the changes of the selection starting or final point.

After you select an area with the mouse or using the Selection Range window, you can use the Delete buttons of the Deletion Toolbar to set the deletion areas:

	- use this button to add an area of deletion, it will be added to the area that is currently selected and highlighted in the lower part of the Timeline;
	- use this button to remove the currently selected area of deletion, you can select it just clicking it with the left mouse button;
	- use this button to remove all the areas of deletion that you currently have on the Timeline, you can make new selections afterwards.

After you make all the selections and set all the areas of deletions, you can press the Save Now! button to start the scenes removing process. The Save File window will open:

Here you can select the output file Name, destination Path, video Format and decide whether you would like to save all the parts of the file, that will be formed after the deletions are made, into one file or into several files. See the Saving the Captured Video section for more on that. The Burn movie to disc after processing option is also available. When it is enabled, the AVS DV to DVD will record the resulting files onto an optical disc using the internal burn engine. After that you will need to press the Start button and will see the deletion progress on the progress bar. It will take some time depending on the file length and your computer configuration.

Note: the program will let you save the video into MPEG-2/DVD PAL or NTSC format, that can be selected in the Format drop-down list.
