Introduction
What is MAGIX Movies on DVD 8?
The name says it all: MAGIX Movies on DVD 8 brings your videos to DVD. With MAGIX Movies on DVD 8 you can digitize and restore your favorite videos from VHS and DVD and record the latest TV hits straight on your computer. You can also create 1:1 backup copies of your video CDs and DVDs in no time.
Easily transfer your own camcorder recordings to your PC, and then edit and optimize them in MAGIX Movies on DVD 8. Once you have refined them with theme-oriented, interactive DVD menus in professional quality, you can burn them to CD or DVD.
Your videos can be uploaded to your personal MAGIX Online Album on the Internet so that they can be accessed anytime and from anywhere.
How does MAGIX Movies on DVD 8 work?
Just follow these 3 easy steps:
1. Record. The "Record" interface opens when MAGIX Movies on DVD
8 is started. You can record and import videos from various sources.
• The button "CD/DVD copy" opens the copy disc assistant. Use it to make copies of copy-protected video DVDs, CDs, and (S)VCDs. The "Shrink DVD" function lets you make backups of non-copy-protected DVD videos on your hard drive and simultaneously compress them to the size of standard 4.7 GB DVDs ("9:5 shrinking"). The button "Analog copy" enables video recording of analog sources, e.g. DVD players, making it possible to create backups of copy-protected DVDs.

• To start video recording from external devices like DVD players, VCRs, and MiniDV camcorders, click "Record".
• To load files located on your computer or drive directly into the program, open the "Edit" screen in the Media Pool.
2. Edit. After recording, switch to the "Edit" screen. Load your videos,
images, or additional audio files from any drive into your project. The separate scenes will be shown as video boxes in the storyboard. You can change the sequence of the scenes and delete superfluous material. Timeline mode gives you access to every detail. You can make precise cuts, edit image and audio tracks separately, and arrange all of the media you use in detail.
3. Burn. Once you are happy with your video, you can go on to the
"Burn" screen. Here you can select and adjust your DVD menu from useful preset templates. Next, burn your disc. Select the desired disc type in the burn assistant with your mouse. For DVD players and TV: DVD, (S)VCD, Mini DVD, JPEG disc. For PC and monitor: Slideshow, WMVHD, or both: Multidisc. Sitcom fans can also change settings in "Encoder settings" in the burn dialog to adjust the play length for up to 12 long-play hours of episodes on one DVD.
