91Compressor User Guide
• Build type: The create DVD job action builds a VIDEO_TS folder; the Create Blu-Ray job
action builds a BDMV folder. These folders contain files correctly formatted for the type
of disc selected. You can set how you want to save that data by choosing an option
from the “Build type” pop-up menu:
• Disc: Available when Output device is set to a compatible device, burns the folder to
a disc.
• File: Available when Output device is set to Hard Drive, embeds the folder into a disc
image file which is formatted correctly to mount or burn to a disc later.
• Folder: Available when Output device is set to Hard Drive, leaves the folder as is; the
media can then be played or later burned to a disc.
• Disc template: This pop-up menu sets the menu template.
• Title: Type the disc title in the text field. This title will be displayed on the disc menus.
• Volume Name: Type the name that will appear when the disc is mounted on a computer.
Only uppercase characters and certain punctuation marks are permitted in the name.
Typically volume names are limited to 30 characters.
• When disc loads: This pop-up menu sets what happens when you play the disc: Show
Menu or Play Movie.
• Use chapter marker text as subtitle: Select this checkbox to include chapter marker text
as subtitles on the output disc. An additional Subtitles button will be added to the disc
main menu to control whether the subtitles are displayed or not. For more information
about chapter markers, see Add markers using Compressor.
• Include Loop Movie button: Select this checkbox to add a Loop Movie button to the
disc main menu. This allows movie playback to optionally loop endlessly without
user intervention.
• Background: Click the Add button to select a graphic image or movie to use for the
disc’s menu background. This image or movie will be used instead of the template
menu background and can include audio.
• Logo: Click the Add button to select a logo graphic image that will be displayed in
the upper-right corner of the disc menus. This image will appear on top of the menu
background.
