1. Set up burner and burn speed: If you have multiple burners installed, you can
select which device you wish to use in this menu. The burn speed depends on
the type of blank disc being used and can only be set after it has been inserted
into the drive.
2. Encoder settings: Use the “Encoder” button to access the selection dialog
where you can specify the properties of the MPEG Encoder (memory
requirements, quality and duration of the MPEG conversion).
3. Start disc burning/video encoding: "Burn disc" starts the disc burning process.
Every time you burn and every time a simulation is carried out, the disc project
is encoded into MPEG-2 formatfor DVDs and Blu-ray discs, and into MPEG-4
format for AVCHD discs. You have the option of choosing a storage location
for the video file on the hard drive. Please note that the MPEG file is not deleted
from the hard drive after the burn process has finished. Depending on the
length of the project, encoding and burning may take some time. The time
remaining can be seen in the dialog.

Longplay DVD DVD with extra-long playing time in PAL -format. The
bit rate is reduced, which compromises quality.
Standard DVD Normal DVD
Standard DVD widescreen Normal DVD in 16:9- widescreen format
Note: For all settings, you can choose NTSC (USA and Japan) or PAL (Europe).
Bit rate: The bit rate determines the memory requirement of the completed video. The
higher the bit rate, the larger the file, and the shorter the maximum playing time of the
movie that fits on a disc.
Adjust bit rate: The expected file size of the finished video is estimated, depending on
the set bit rate. If the movie does not fit onto the disc, the bit rate is corrected
accordingly.
Quality: Specifies the quality of the encoding process. The higher the quality, the
better the finished video will look; however, encoding will take considerably longer.
Smart Rendering: With Smart Rendering you can considerably reduce the encoding
processing strain for MPEG files. With the production of MPEG files, only those parts
of the movie that were changed in the program (e.g. by video cleaning or effects) are
re-encoded. Please note: The MPEG files contained in the movie must have the same
