Recording Made Easy with Gadgets

What's happening:


One of Vista's great new features are "gadgets": mini applications that rest in your Vista Sidebar for quick tasks. While there is a never ending supply of gadgets available, Easy Media Creator 10 offers a gadget for audio recording and a second one for video recording.



How it's done

In the steps below, we'll show you how to add the Audio Gadget. The steps are exactly the same for video in Vista.


Windows Vista
  1. Click on the + (plus) at the top of your Sidebar. Show Me
  2. In the Gadgets window, drag Easy Audio Capture and/or Roxio Audio/Video Converter gadgets to your Sidebar. Show Me

Windows XP
  1. Launch Easy Media Creator Home.
  2. Click on the Audio tab in the Project pane and then select Easy Audio Capture. Show Me
  3. In the bottom right corner, click on the Switch to Mini Mode button. Show Me

    Note: Roxio Audio/Video Converter is not available under Windows XP.
