How To Make A DVD With The HDi-250

 

Are you wondering how to make a DVD with the HDi-250?   To help you out, we’ve put together a tutorial that guides you through each step in the process. To make things even easier, we’ve included example pictures. This way, you know exactly how to make a DVD, where you are in the process, and what you should see on your HDi-250’s display. Before you begin, please note the following information:

 

The HDi-250 does not record DVD-Video discs directly.
It records to the hard disk drive (HDD), then you make a dvd from that or from several files.

 

DVD Burn Times for 1 hour files:

  • Using MP4 files: 9:30 (nine minutes, 30 seconds)
  • Using MPEG-2 (VOB) files, 3 minutes (2:51)

 

To make a DVD-Video disc, first put a blank DVD disc (+R, -R, or +RW) into the machine
