What model is your camcorder? Is it recording to those little mini DVD discs :?:

In the CAPTURE step, use the Import from DVD/DVD-VR option (check that your version has that feature). It will import the mpeg files from the minDVD disc to your hard drive.

NOTE:
you might have to use the camcorder to finalize the miniDVD disc before it can be read by your computer...

Put the mini-DVD in your computer's DVD drive.

Click on the Capture tab, and you should find an option to Import from DVD. That will create an MPEG A/V file on your hard drive. From there, you should be able to follow the recommended procedure to create a DVD.

If you didn't get a user manual, you can download it here. You probably have a limited "SE" version, so your software might not exactly match the user manual. But, the user manual should still be useful to you.
