You must have a writeable DVD burner in your system. The Cyberlink software will not allow you to access the menus for burning a DVD unless you have a DVD burner installed. JVC offers a standalone DVD burner that can be attached to your computer or to the camera itself to burn DVDs for watching on a television set.
You must have Windows XP SP2 or Vista installed on your computer; Cyberlink Power Cinema is not compatible with older versions of Windows.
