Composite

S-Video

USB

USB Connection Difficulty

It is important to mention that not all USB ports are the same. In most cases the USB connection on the back of a computer tower is faster and more powerful. On a Laptop the USB port closest to the power supply is the better choice. Please consider that these are generalities, and are not always the case.

If the software is unable to connect to the audio device, try different USB ports on your computer until the device is recognized. Download unlock bootloader code generator tool. Make sure you are going directly into a port on the computer and not through a USB hub.

DVD Media Types

There are a number of different DVD media types. It is very important to know what type your DVD burner is capable of burning. It is also very important to know what DVD types your home DVD player can read. For more information on your specific DVD drive please contact the hardware manufacturer.

Then most common DVD formats are DVD-R, and DVD+R. Avoid using DVD+-RW as these types are not recognizable by most home DVD players. If you are experiencing issues with DVD-R, you should try your luck with DVD+R.

For the greatest success when burning your DVD it is recommended to burn at slower speeds. Just because your DVD burner can burn at 32x does not mean you should use this speed. You will see less failure rate, and better quality video when burning at slower speeds.

Advanced Converting

If your videos are too large to fit onto one DVD, you have a few options. The first option is to split your recording into parts. It is recommended to split your recordings into 1 Hr 30 Min parts. If you do not want to split your video into parts, you can convert your video in full onto your computer, and then use a video converter to compress the video so that it will fit onto a single DVD.
