To browse, download, watch, and burn videos, you need the following:
To purchase videos in the video store, you need an account with the store. If you have an existing account, you can use it. Otherwise, you can set up a new account. For more information, see the video store online help.
To download videos, you need sufficient free hard drive space. The amount of space needed can vary between 3 GB and 5 GB.
To burn videos to disc, you need a special QFlix-enabled recorder, as well as
QFlix media.
Note The BurnRight™ System Check will help to ensure that you have enough hard drive
space and a QFlix-compliant recorder. For more information, see About the BurnRight
About burning videos to disc—file preparation
Before a video can be burned to disc, needs to prepare the file. This process can take a very long time, often several hours. File preparation requires a lot of disc space, at least 5 GB for each video.
This is because a large temporary file is created. The temporary file will be deleted after the video is burned to disc.
File preparation can take place as you download the video from the video store, or it may take place just before you burn the file. Depending on the software version that you are running, and the store from which you purchase videos, you may be able to choose when file preparation happens. In most cases, preparation will happen automatically in the background while the file is downloading from the video store.
For information about changing the default location for the temporary files, click
Help
or press
F1
in the General Options dialog box. (Choose
Tools > Options
to change options.)

Burning videos to disc
You can burn your videos to a DVD disc, which you can then play on most set-top DVD players.
To burn videos to disc, you’ll need a special QFlix-compliant recorder, as well as QFlix media.
Note The BurnRight™ System Check will help to ensure that you have enough hard drive
space and a QFlix-compliant recorder. For more information, see About the BurnRight
Depending on the type of license you purchased, or the store from which you purchased the video, there may be a limit to the number of burns and burn attempts you are allowed. In most cases, you can burn one copy of the video. If a burn attempt is not successful, you will be able to try again a limited number of times. If you cannot burn the disc successfully in the number of attempts allowed, contact customer support for assistance.
About burning videos to disc—file preparation
Before a video can be burned to disc, needs to prepare the file. This process can take a very long time, often several hours. File preparation requires a lot of disc space, at least 5 GB for each video.
This is because a large temporary file is created. The temporary file will be deleted after the video is burned to disc.
File preparation can take place as you download the video from the video store, or it may take place just before you burn the file. Depending on the version of that you are running, and the store from which you purchase videos, you may be able to choose when file preparation happens. In most cases, preparation will happen automatically in the background while the file is downloading from the video store. If not, the burn process may take several hours as the file is prepared before burning begins.
For information about changing the default location for the temporary files, click
Help
or press
F1
in the General Options dialog box. (Choose
Tools > Options
to change options.)
