DVD Folder and Burn Options: The parameters in this frame control the names and locations of
the DVD output process.
VIDEO_TS location: All DVD contain a folder called VIDEO_TS which contains the program material (.
VOB files) and control files (.IFO and .BUP) . During the authoring process VideoReDo builds a copy of
the VIDEO_TS file on your hard drive which will be eventually burned to the DVD. The default location value
is based upon where you last authored a DVD as well as the filename being authored. For example if you
last authored to c:\temp\MyFiles.DVD, future VIDEO_TS folders will be stored under the c:\temp folder. Use
the button on the right to select or create a new folder.
Author to VIDEO_TS: Select this option to simply author to a VIDEO_TS folder on the hard drive. No
burning will be done at this time.
Author to VIDEO_TS and burn DVD: This option creates the VIDEO_TS folder on your hard drive and
then automatically burns a DVD.
Create ISO file: An ISO is single file which is an image of a burned DVD. Many burning applications,
including VideoReDo can burn a DVD from an existing ISO file.
Burning options: If you are burning or creating an ISO file, the following options can be set:
Verify disc after burning: After the initial burn is complete, VIdeoReDo will re-read the burned DVD
and compare each file on the DVD with its corresponding file in the VIDEO_TS folder on the hard disc. Because
of tight tolerances of writable DVDs it is not unusual to find that the burning process. While checking this option
can double the amount of time it takes to burn the DVD it insures that the DVD contains a complete and
accurate copy of the files on the hard drive.
Delete VIDEO_TS after burning: After burning is complete the VIDEO_TS folder on the hard drive will
be deleted. Enabling this option also enables the verify option.
Erase RW disc automatically: If you are using a read-write DVD disc, checking this option will
automatically erase the contents before burning. If you don't check this option and your RW drive isn't blank,
the DVD burning application will warn you that the contents of the disc isn't empty and ask you to either erase it
or use a different disc.
Volume name: Each DVD has a volume name of up to 31 letters and numbers. The volume name is
for informational purposes only and isn't displayed during playback.
Estimated DVD Size: This graphic shows the estimated output size of the DVD. The output size is based
upon an estimate of the sizes of the source titles and your edits to those titles. If your source files, such as
some transport stream files, contain multiple simultaneous programs the estimated size can be way off. In
those cases you might want to save your edits first to a separate file and then reload the edited file for
authoring. The look of this graphic will change when you alter the DVD output size option as described below.
