Hollywood DV-Bridge User’s Guide • Using Hollywood DV-Bridge With a PC • Page 11
Additional Requirements
To fine-tune your system for DV editing, follow these steps:
1. Make sure all your hard disk drives are defragmented.
2. If possible, use a separate drive for storing video material.
3. Close all unnecessary programs and background tasks.
Software Overview
The Hollywood DV-Bridge includes three Dazzle PC software applications: MovieStar 5,
DVD Complete, and OnDVD. Following is a description of each of these software
applications.
MovieStar 5
MovieStar 5 makes editing your video easy, but it doesn’t leave out the powerful features
you want. Cut unwanted scenes and add 3D transitions, titles, and special effects. Add
your favorite background music to set the mood or do a voice-over narration to explain
important scenes. Use the storyboard or timeline interface for easy, yet professional
video editing. MovieStar 5 has Background Rendering, Smart Rendering and Fast
Rendering technology for superior speed and performance. MovieStar 5 lets you make
Real Media or Windows Media internet-ready streaming videos. Then upload them for free
to the Dazzle Webcasting site to share streaming video across the internet.
For instructions on editing video, refer to your MovieStar 5 User’s Guide.
DVD Complete
With DVD Complete, it’s easy to make DVDs like those created in Hollywood movie
studios. The DVD Complete project wizard guides you though five simple steps from
camcorder to DVD. All you need to know is what you like and DVD Complete does the rest.
For instructions on making DVDs, refer to your DVD Complete User’s Guide.
OnDVD
Digital cameras allow you to take an unlimited number of photographs that quickly pile up
on your computer and become difficult to manage. With OnDVD, you can take digital
pictures and turn them into photo albums for your DVD player. Simply select and arrange
your photos like an old-fashioned Slideshow and burn a CD. OnDVD makes it easy to turn
digital memories into home entertainment! For instructions on creating Slideshows, refer
to your OnDVD User’s Guide.
Note: You can access an electronic user guide for any of the above Dazzle software appli-
cations by selecting Start>Programs, selecting the name of the desired product, and then
selecting the user guide for that product.
