Editing MyDVD projects in DVDit Pro

DVDit Pro can open most projects created by Sonic MyDVD 4.x through 6.x. If you edit and save a MyDVD project in DVDit Pro, you cannot open it again in MyDVD due to the greater complexity of DVDit Pro projects.

To open a MyDVD project:

  • Choose File > Open.

  • In the Open dialog box, choose Sonic DVD Project (*.dvd) from the Files of type list.

  • Locate and select the MyDVD project file, which has a .dvd extension.

  • Click the Open button.

DVDit Pro handles MyDVD projects as follows:
