DVD Burning - Usage

The "Burn to DVD" option will appear in the Home menu after DVD Burning has been activated:

Access this function, or use the "Add to DVD" function in a recording's properties screen, to be taken to a separate menu:


This screen lists every recording added either through the "Add to DVD" function accessible in a recording's details screen, or via this screen by using the "Add Video" option.

Add Video
Takes the user to the Recorded Shows screen (or the latest subsection from which "Add Video" was invoked) to add a video to the DVD Burning list. Selecting a recording after executing this function will display a recording details screen like the following example:

Preview Video

Back to Recorded Shows

Note: Backing out of Recorded Shows will return the user to the "Burn to DVD" menu. Choosing "Add to DVD" will add the recording to the DVD Burning queue and return the user to the "Burn to DVD" menu.

Remove Video

Selecting one of these recordings will remove it from the list without prompt.

The DVD will finish without prompt or alarm in the background. Once the DVD is finished burning, the following notice will appear in the Burn to DVD menu upon re-entry or if the user remained in the Burn to DVD menu when the burn completed:

Cancel DVD

Answer "Yes" to cancel the DVD and clear the queue. Answer "No" to return to the "Burn to DVD" menu.
