Configuring the MPEG-1 File Format for DVD Use
The following sections guide you through configuring the MPEG-1 output file format for
DVD use. This process creates two settings, one for video and another for audio, creating
elementary streams.
Stage 1: Creating the MPEG-1 Video for DVD Setting
Create the setting for an MPEG-1 elementary video output file suitable for DVD. See
Creating the MPEG-1 Video for DVD Setting for more information.
Stage 2: Creating the MPEG-1 Audio for DVD Setting
Create the setting for an MPEG-1 elementary audio output file suitable for DVD. See
Creating the MPEG-1 Audio for DVD Setting for more information.
Stage 3: (Optional) Creating an “MPEG-1 for DVD” Group and Destination
Optionally, you can “package” your newly-made settings in a custom “MPEG-1 for DVD”
group and destination. See Optional—Creating an MPEG-1 for DVD Group and Destination
for more information.
