3 From the Layers pop-up menu, choose whether to burn a single-layer or dual-layer disc.
Important: Selecting “Dual-layer” when using a single-layer disc can result in an error
during burning, depending on the project’s length.
4 Choose an available template from the “Disc template” pop-up menu.
5 Enter the name of the disc in the Title field.
By default, the name of the disc is the project name.
6 To specify the DVD player’s action when the disc is inserted, choose an item from the
“When disc loads” pop-up menu.
Choose Show Menu to have a main menu appear. Choose Play Movie to begin playing
the movie immediately.
7 To add a background to DVD menus, click the Add button and choose a graphic
(navigating to where you keep your graphics files on disk).
To choose a different background, click the Clear button, then click Add again.
8 Click Main Menu to see a preview of menus included with the selected template and
background; click Project to see a preview of the movie.
9 To specify additional Motion-specific options, click Render.
For more information about the options available in the Render pane, see Render Options
for Sharing.

12 In the Options pane, do one of the following:
• If you’re burning to a disc (instead of creating a disk image): Click the eject button at the
right of the Output device pop-up menu, insert a blank disk into your disc-burning
device, then click Burn.
Important: If you click Burn before inserting a dual-layer destination disc, Motion
assumes it is a single-layer disc, resulting in only half the disc being used, and
poorer-quality video.
• If you’re creating a disk image file: Choose Hard Drive from the Output device pop-up
menu, click Next, enter a name for the file, choose a location, then click Save.
Important: By default, the Share feature assumes single-layer media for disk images
and adjusts the bit rate accordingly.
To monitor the render progress, use Share Monitor. For more information, see About
Share Monitor.
