Write movie to DVD or CD

After the DVD menu is created, you can burn your movie to DVD or CD. However, given the high cost of blank DVD media, it is recommended that you burn to DVD only if you are sure your titles and DVD menu have been finalized.

If you have not yet created a DVD menu, see the Create DVD Menu topic.

To write your movie to disc:

  1. Click the Burn Disc icon at the bottom of the Mode Selector. The Burning Options dialog appears.

 

  1. You have the option of writing the DVD files to your hard disk only, or to both the hard disk and the DVD (or CD, if applicable). Select the appropriate check-box.

Note: Writing to DVD (or CD) without writing to the hard disk is only possible if you had written the files to your hard disk at an earlier time. In this case, you need to specify the hard disk directory from which to access the files for disc burning.

  1. Select the appropriate broadcast system for your area from the drop-down list (NTSC for North America and Japan, PAL for Europe and Asia).

  2. Select the Region code for your area, or for the area in which the disc is intended for use.

The region codes are set according to geography:

  1. Enter a destination folder for writing to your hard drive.

  2. If you intend to burn to disc, enter the appropriate drive information.

  3. Click the Burn button to start the writing process.

Note: The disc writing process is very processor intensive and may take several minutes to complete.
