Precautions for using Click to DVD software
• Recommended operating environment
– CPU: Intel Pentium III or Celeron 800 MHz or faster (exclude
Transmeta Crusoe)
– Memory: 256MB or more
– Display: XGA (1024
×
768) 16-bit colors or more (Click to DVD
software does not operate under SVGA.)
• Before using Click to DVD software, refer to the Click to DVD help to
configure your computer. Depending on your computer's environment,
recorded video quality may differ from the original, even if your
computer is configured correctly. It is recommended that you store
valuable source material data. Sony bears no responsibility for damage to
recorded content, or incidental damages caused by either malfunctions in
this drive or its discs, or by external factors.
• Close all other software (including software running in the background)
before using Click to DVD software and Drag’n Drop CD+DVD
software to write data.
• You should have at least 256 MB of RAM in your computer when using
Click to DVD software to write data. For details on expanding memory,
refer to the manuals provided with your computer.
• Data is written to DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, or DVD-RW discs,
using the “Disc-at-once” format. Therefore, it is not possible to add data
to the disc later. DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs can, however, be erased
and reused.
• The time required to write DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, or DVD-RW
discs can very from a few hours to several dozen hours, depending on
your computer model and the amount of the source material being written.
• “Click to DVD Automatic Mode” temporarily stores data on your
computer's hard disk drive, so there must be enough free space on the
hard disk drive for using this mode. The values below provive a general
guide for the amount of hard disk space required by “Click to DVD
Automatic Mode” to create a DVD video of different lengths. “Click to
DVD Automatic Mode” automatically adjusts the video bit rate (and,
therefore, the image quality of the video) to accomodate different
recording lengths. Shorter videos are recorded at higher bit rates, which
offers better video image quality (when using only a video).
