Introduction
What is MAGIX Movies on DVD 7?
The name says it all: MAGIX Movies on DVD 7 brings your videos to DVD. With MAGIX
Movies on DVD 7 you can digitize and restore your favorite videos from VHS and DV.
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 7. 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 7 work?
Just follow these 3 easy steps:
1: Import & record. The "Record" interface opens when MAGIX Movies on DVD 7 is
started. Here you can record and import videos from various sources.
The "CD/DVD copy" button opens the "Copy disc" assistant. Using the "Copy" function,
you can create 1:1 copies of non copy-protected CDs, DVDs, and (S)VCDs. The "Shrink
DVD" feature lets you make backups of non copy-protected DVD videos on your hard
drive and simultaneously compresses them to the size of standard 4.7 GB DVDs ("9:5
shrinking"). The "Analog copy" button enables video recording of analog sources, e.g.
DVD players, making it possible to create backups of copy-protected DVDs (please note
the legal disclaimer in the copyright).
To start video recording from external devices like DVD players, VCRs, and MiniDV
camcorders, click "Record". To load files that are located on your computer or a drive
directly into the program, use the "Import files" function.

2: Edit & restore. After recording, switch to the "Edit" screen. "Scene recognition"
separates your video material into individual scenes. Movies recorded from TV can be
cleared of advertising using the special ad removal function. The separate scenes will be
shown as video boxes in the storyboard, and there you can change the sequence of the
scenes, and also delete superfluous material. If you like, you can even edit single scenes
using the video and audio optimization options.
3: Design menu and burn. If you are happy with your video, then proceed to the "Burn"
screen. Here you can design your DVD menu from useful pre-loaded templates. With the
finished, professional-looking menu, you can burn your disc. Select the desired disc
type in the burn assistant with your mouse. For viewing on TV and DVD players, select
DVD, Mini HD DVD, (S)VCD, MiniDVD JPEG Disc; for viewing on your PC's monitor,
select slideshow, WMVHD; for both, use 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.
