* The set duration for some DVD players may be determined by this table.
The amount of image material that can be put onto a CD or DVD depends
on the sizes of the picture files.
You may also use the menu templates from the category "TV Showtime
DVD" for the disc types MiniDVD and DVD. Each picture of a slideshow is
displayed fullscreen on its own menu page (without having to playback the
slideshow).
For the MPEG-2 encoder especially, which is used for SVCDs, DVDs, and
MiniDVDs (i.e. CD-ROMs written in DVD file format), it can be difficult to
supply reliable relating to the required memory space. If the "variable bit
rate" of the MPEG-2 encoder is activated, encoding will occur according to
the movements in the picture. The required memory depends on the film
material; an action film would need more memory than a drama, for
instance.
If you cannot save your disc project on a single blank CD, you will have to
divide it up into different sections.
Further information on MPEG compression and formats can be found in the
chapter "Attachment: video and data storage devices (view page 338)" of
the PDF manual.
Test series with variable encoder settings
If you would like to know how much memory space you require for various
encoder settings, you should run some simulations before burning.
So you don’t waste any blank CDs while testing, you should activate the
“Simulate first” option.
Then create, for example, a short (ca. 5 min.) disc project and simulate
burning in multiple cycles with various settings.
