Creating Discs
Create a folder: select this option to create a disc folder on your computer
that contains all the files necessary for burning. Click on to specify
the folder where it is created. Creating a folder overwrites all of the existing
data in a directory.
Enable x.v.Color: x.v.Color is a color system that can display a wider color
range than usual. CyberLink PowerDirector can generate an x.v.Color-
compliant stream, which is backward compatible with RGB displays, while
offering the opportunity to achieve better visual quality if your playback
environment is x.v.Color ready.
Enable hardware video encoder: enable this option to speed up rendering
and burning time. This option is only enabled if your computer supports
hardware acceleration (NVIDIA graphics card that supports CUDA, an AMD
graphics card that supports AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing, or a
computer with Intel Core Processor Family technology).
4. When ready, click the Start Burning button to burn your production to disc.
Note: the burning process may take a few minutes, depending on the length and
quality of your video and your computer's processing power. Be prepared for a
short wait while CyberLink PowerDirector renders your movie and burns it to the
disc. Time remaining does not include the time it takes to finalize/close discs.
Configuring Burn Settings
Before you burn to a disc for the first time, it is advised that you click on to
set your burning configuration as follows:
Recording drive: select the burning drive (or removable disc for the AVCHD
format) CyberLink PowerDirector will use to burn the production to disc.
Recording speed: set the recording speed used when burning the disc. If you
encounter errors during the burning process, try lowering the burning speed.
Include buffer under-run protection: select this option to ensure that video is
written to disc without interruption. An interruption in video burning can
result in an unusable disc.
After you set this configuration, CyberLink PowerDirector uses the same
configuration each time you burn until you change the settings.
