Burn disc 233
The burn dialog
Here you can select your burner, the type of disc, the encoder settings. MPEG-
2 is used for DVDs. Blu-ray discs also use MPEG-2, and higher bitrates are
employed in order to reach the higher HD resolutions. AVCHD discs use a
much more complex MPEG-4/H.264 codec, which is documented in detail in
the "MPEG-4 encoder settings (view page 371) section of the PDF manual and
in Help (F1
key).
Proceed as follows to burn a disc:

 Set up burner and burn speed: If mu
ltiple burners are installed, you may
select which device you wish to use in this menu.
 Encoder settings: Use the "Encoder" button to access the selection dialog to
specify settings for the MPEG encoder (memory requirements, quality, and
duration of the MPEG conversion). "Advanced settings" accesses a dialog
featuring additional options. You can adjust all the fine settings for the MPEG
encoder here.
 Burning disc/starting video encoding: The button "Burn disc" starts the disc
burning process. Every time you burn and every time a simulation is carried
out, the disc project is encoded. Please note that the MPEG file is not deleted
from the hard disk after the burn process has finished. Depending on the
length of the project, encoding and burning may take some time. The time
required can be seen in the dialog.
