Program Run Through:

Here we will go thought the main program.

The first screen that will appear will be the splash screen. Here you can check out what version of the software you are running.

Once the program has loaded you will be given the option of using Video Vault in evaluation mode, purchasing a license on-line or entering your existing license.

Here I have chosen the 'Trial mode. A simply message will appear telling you the benefits of purchasing a license.

Now we move onto the program itself. The first time that you run the program you will be given the option of setting your default video mode. This is so that you movies will play on your standalone devices properly. Here I selected the PAL system as I live in the United Kingdom.

Finally we see the programs main window. As you can see the main program controls are along the left hand side of the window. These are the main functions of the program and include:

⋅         Import Disc

⋅         Import File

⋅         Import Tape

⋅         Export To DVD

⋅         Export To PVP

⋅         Export To PDA

⋅         Export To File

⋅         BackUp DVD

As you can see there are also some other controls on this main page to. The large area in the middle will show thumbnails of the movies in your collection. The Movies To Export window is used to place the movies that you want to export to your attached device. The Export To DVD window is used to setup the options for your exported movies that will be placed onto DVD. There is also a button that links to the website for Video Vault and one for the options which we will look at now.

The options allow you to setup the temporary folders that Video Vault will use along with which DVD burner to use if you have more than one. There is also a Vault Folder which is where all of your movies will be stored and sorted form. This folder should be located along with the temporary ones should be located on a hard drive with a lot of free space.

The other options are used to setup how Video Vault will function. The options include playing a sound when operations are complete to resetting all of the changes made to the options window.

The final option here is the Add Device button. By clicking on this you will be brought to a screen where you can add your other devices to the program so that you can copy your movies onto them.
