To start burning the discs you will need to select source and target drives.

• Source (input) drive - the optical disc drive or a hard disk drive folder used to read the information from. It can be either DVD video disc or hard drive folder containing DVD video files. It can be selected from the drop-down list:

  

  In this list you can see:

  • HDD folders - the list of three most recently opened hard disk drive folders, containing DVD video files;

• Target (output, destination) drive - the optical disc drive or a hard disk drive folder used to record the information to. It can be either a recordable (rewritable) optical disc or hard drive folder. As well as the source it can be selected from the drop-down list:

  

  In this list you can see:

  • HDD folders - the list of three hard disk drive folders most recently used to save your files to;
  • Copy DVD to folder - select this option to open the standard explorer window and choose the folder on your computer hard disk to save the files to.

You will also need to select the disc type used to record the output DVD video. It will depend on the disc type inserted into your DVD-drive or, in case you plan to record your disc later and are going to save the output DVD into a folder on your computer hard disk drive, on your DVD-drive capabilities:

You can select the following disc options:

• Standard DVD-R(W) - a single layer DVD±R or DVD±RW disc with a standard capacity of 4.7 gigabytes (a so called DVD-5). You should select this option to record a video with duration 1 hour and a half or less or in case your DVD drive does not support double layer discs;
• Double layer DVD-R(W) - a double layer DVD±R or DVD±RW disc with a standard capacity of 8.6 gigabytes (a so called DVD-9). You should select this option to record a video with duration longer than an hour and a half on a DVD with menus and extras to retain the maximal quality;
  Note: please make sure your disc drive supports double layer discs to be able to record them afterwards.
• Custom... - use this option to set the output disc size manually. This might be quite useful if you have a disc of an unusual capacity (e.g. an 80-mm (3.15") disc - single or double layer).
