Burn a disc 231
It is difficult to acquire reliable information regarding required memory, especially
with the MPEG-2 encoder. 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.
In the MAGIX Video Pro X6 burn dialog there is a display of remaining capacity,
which estimates directly how much space remains on the selected disc type with
current settings. As soon as you change Encoder settings, the capacity display will be
updated.
Tip: The capacity display is only an estimate. For this reason, always make sure that
you never completely fill the disc space. Instead, leave a buffer in case the files end
up being larger than the provided estimate.
If you cannot save your disc project on a single blank CD, you will have to divide it up
into various parts.
Note: Further information on MPEG compression and formats can be found in the
chapter PDF manual in the chapter "Video and data formats" (view page 347).
Separate project onto multiple discs
Automatically: If the disc project requires more memory than is available on the disc,
a dialog will appear before burning asking whether the disc project should be
automatically segmented for multiple discs. Confirm this by clicking “Yes”. The disc
project will then be automatically divided into individual disc projects and burned
sequentially onto multiple discs. This is the easiest method as everything is automatic
and all you have to do is insert a new blank CD when required.
Manual
Case 1: If several movies do not fit on a single disc:
In this case, switch back to the “Edit” interface and delete as many movies as
necessary until the remaining movies fit onto the disc. You can create a new disc
project and load and burn the other movies afterwards.
Case 2: If a long movie doesn’t fit on a disc...
In this case, the movie has to be split into two or more parts that will be burned
separately onto disc.
• Switch back to the "Edit" view and place the playback marker to the position
where you want to divide the movie. In the "Edit" menu, select "Cut -> Separate
movie".
