Multi Disc
A multidisc is a combination of different disc formats on one DVD. It consists of
3 parts and offers the following advantages:
 Maximum quality when played on a PC with WMV HD (Windows Media High
Definition Disc)
 Fully compatible with DVD players due to a DVD part (Digital Versatile Disc)
(view page 365)
 Great
est possible safety as a data backup of the project is added (burn option
(view page 234)).
Backup disc
Use this option to compile all movies in the current disc project, including all
connected media and burn them to disc.
Even larger projects can be burned straight to disc. The project, if necessary,
will be split up and burned automatically to multiple discs. A restore program
which is burned to the first disc of such a backup, guarantees easy re-
recording of the backup.
MPEG-4 encoder settings
Behind MPEG-4, you'll find a highly complex "academic" standard that
operates and is supported variably according to make.
Tip : First, check if there is a suitable preset in the export dialog for your
purposes. Before changes are made in "Advanced settings", the effects and
interplay of the different parameters should be familiar.
The "Advanced settings" are divided into "Video", "Audio", and "Multiplexer".
Under "Video", there is a choice between "MPEG-4 (view page 372)" (H.263)
and "AVC/H.264 (view pa
ge 377)". Depending on the purpose of application of
the ma
terial to be exported, both of these encoder settings can be selected for
compressing the video material. It is important in this case to know how the
material will be played back.
Under "Audio", there is a choice between "AMR (view page 383)" and "AC
(view page
384)". The AMR format is more suitable for mobile devices that
don't necessarily require h
igh playback quality. ACC is more flexible, on the
other hand, but it is supported by fewer mobile devices.
