English Troubleshooting Your PC does not recognize the HP DVD Movie Writer Double-check all cable connections. If you are using your own USB cable, try using the USB cable included with the HP DVD Movie Writer instead. Try connecting the HP DVD Movie Writer to a different USB port on your computer. If the HP DVD Movie Writer is connected to a USB hub, try connecting it directly to your computer instead. If the HP DVD Movie Writer is connected to a USB 1.1 port, unplug all non-active USB devices. Make sure the HP DVD Movie Writer has power. The blue EJECT and TRANSFER button lights should be on whenever the unit has power. Try the following: shut down and power off your computer, unplug power to the drive, wait a few seconds, then plug in the drive, and then power up your PC with the drive connected. No preview in ArcSoft ShowBiz 2 Check the HP DVD Movie Writers video activity indicator light; it should be lit whenever a video signal is present. If the indicator is not lit, check all cables and connections. If you are using your own audio/video cables, try using the included ones instead. Verify that your camcorder or VCR is working by connecting it to a TV to see that its playing correctly. Choppy preview in muvee autoProducer The video preview function within the muvee software often appears choppy. Under normal circumstances, this choppiness is seen only during the preview phase; it does not affect your final DVD movie.

Limitations of USB 1.1 USB 1.1 is not fast enough to keep up with the transfer rate required to record DVDs at the drive's maximum capability. The slow transfer rate can also prevent smooth playback of many DVD movie discs. If you are experiencing these problems, and your HP DVD Movie Writer is connected to a USB 1.1 port, you may see improved performance by disconnecting non-active USB devices. If the drive is connected to a USB 1.1 hub, try bypassing the hub and connecting the drive directly to your computer. While these changes may minimally improve performance, for best results we recommend attaching the HP DVD Movie Writer to a USB 2.0 port. Additional information Your HP DVD Movie Writer must be attached to your PC to transfer video or record DVDs. Make sure you have installed the software and drivers on your PC before getting started. The HP DVD Movie Writer has two built-in USB ports. The port on the back connects to your PC. The accessory port on the side is intended for connecting external USB 2.0 or 1.1 devices, such as a digital camera. Note the accessory USB port will not operate as a passthrough port when the HP DVD Movie Writer is not powered on. Video files can be very large. Make sure you have enough free hard drive space to hold the file youre transferring or working with. On average, MPEG-2 video files require about 2.3 GB per 1 hour of video. Working with video can be demanding on your PC. Make sure your system meets or exceeds the minimum system requirements. 11
