BD DiscRecorder

Welcome to Ulead BD DiscRecorder

With Ulead BD DiscRecorder, users can capture, edit, and save videos in the BDAV
format for use with Blu-ray discs.

BDAV (Blu-ray Disc Audio-Visual) is the next-generation video format, making the
future of High Definition videos a reality. It was created by the Blu-ray Disc
Association (BDA) to bring HD technology and higher storage capacity to video
editing.

Hardware checkup and configuration

To make sure your video production runs smoothly and trouble free, click Control
Panel: System - Hardware - Device Manager and check if your devices are

working properly with your Operating System (OS).

In general, as long as the device can be seen and working properly in the Device
Manager (this applies to all Windows versions), BD DiscRecorder will be able to
detect it and work with it.

Also make sure that a burner that supports Blu-ray discs is properly connected and
configured and that you have the appropriate BD-R or BD-RE media for recording.

Running BD DiscRecorder

Run BD DiscRecorder from the program folder. Here, you can create a new video
project (New/Append Disc) or capture and burn videos directly on a disc
(Straight Capture to Disc).
