Burning a video project to disc
After you are satisfied with the contents and style of your video project, you can
burn it to a DVD or VCD disc as follows:
1 Click File, Open Project, and then select a video project that you created as
described in “Creating a Video Project” on page 82.
2 In the Quality fields, set the recording quality and the DVD or VCD type:
• The quality settings range from HQ (the highest quality, but uses the most
disc space) to EP (lowest quality, but you can fit more files).
As you select different quality settings, the disc space remaining indicator
displays how much blank space there is on the disc for this mode.
• The DVD formats include 2xDVD (8.5GB) (double layer); DVD (4.7GB)
(the default setting); DVD-RAM (2.6GB); and DVD (1.4GB).
Some of these formats may not be supported by your model of PC.
3 Insert the selected type of disc into the appropriate drive tray, close it,
and click Burn.
For detailed information about DVD and VCD recording quality and
time, see:
• “Video Quality and Disc Size” on page 88.
• “DVD Recording Time” on page 89.
