Precautions during recording
If any of the following occurs, Simple DVD Maker stops loading the movie file from the DV device and 
starts creating the DVD:
The maximum time set for loading movies is exceeded.
A blank space lasting 2 minutes or longer is detected on the digital video tape.
Remaining digital video tape capacity reaches zero.
If frame dropout occurs during loading, Simple DVD Maker stops loading the movie file and cancels DVD 
creation.
To avoid frame dropout, close all other applications before using Simple DVD Maker. Furthermore, do 
not launch other applications, connect a USB device to your computer, or access the network while 
movies are loading. If you have set anti-virus software to scan periodically, make sure you do not create 
DVDs during these times. 
An SDM folder is automatically created inside the work folder. Once the DVD is created, the contents of 
the SDM folder are automatically deleted. Do not save important files in SDM folders. If there is not 
enough free space in your computer's D: drive to run other applications, the SDM folder can be deleted 
in order to create more free space.
