Operation may not work properly if you connect more than one DC10/DC20
camcorder to the computer at the same time.
If the operation is interrupted:
- “OPERATION CANCELED” will be displayed on the camcorder’s screen.
- To restart the operation you will need to insert a new blank disc in your
computer’s DVD drive and restore the connections.
- The operation will be canceled if you eject the disc from the camcorder, open
the disc tray of your computer’s DVD drive, disconnect the USB cable or run
the Roxio MyDVD for Canon software.
We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power outlet while it
is connected to the computer.
The time required to complete the one-touch dubbing will vary depending on
the scene recording conditions and the amount of free space remaining on the
source disc.
You need to have DVD playback software installed in your computer in order to
play the disc.
Finalized DVD discs created with MyDVD for Canon cannot be unfinalized
using the camcorder.
For further details about restrictions when using MyDVD for Canon, refer also to
the “README” section in the software’s help modules.
Refer also to the computer’s instruction manual.
