Note 1: Insert DVD disc

You should insert a blank or rewritable disc. If the disc is not empty but rewritable, then erase the disc first.

Note 2: Select appropriate TV standard

PAL is used in Europe and Asia, while NTSC is used in USA, Canada and Japan. Some intelligent software like Cisdem DVD Burner can help you match the TV standard after you pick the country.

Note 3: Set burn speed

It would be great if the software gave an option to choose the burn speed (2X, 4X, 8X, etc.). We recommend using a slower burn speed for the reasons: 1. It makes the disc quality better and more reliable; 2. Some DVD players don’t support to play the discs burned at speeds greater than 4X.
