Q and A

make CD - Posted by: Kwang kim on 12/8/2011 Can I make a CD with Q3HD? RE: make CD - Posted by: Dory Hornsby on 12/8/2011 You can but you will need to use your computer. You can use the files you record on the Q3HD and put them on your computers hard drive. From there you can use Windows Movie Maker or any video editor of your choice to edit your recording. If your computer has a DVD recorder you can then make a DVD.
