13 Set additional Return Markers as desired.
14 And now for the preview that lets you test the menu and
check navigation. Select the Preview tab. After a brief delay,
the menu appears in the inlay.
15 Use the arrow buttons and click OK to activate and select the
buttons. You can also jump from the beginning of one chapter to the beginning of
another.
16 If contents and navigation are correct, youâre ready to export! Call the Export to DVD
module (by selecting Pinnacle Liquid > Start menu > Tools).
17 From the list of prepared settings select, for example, DVD Image 1 to generate a file that
you can play with a software DVD player. Itâs best to test it before you burn the DVD. If
you want to burn it immediately, skip this step.
18 Make sure that the Current Sequence option is selected on the Source tab, that a suitable
target directory for the files is specified on the Destination tab, and that the burning oper-
ation is deactivated on the Burn tab. Then click OK.
19 Now load the DVD image to the software player. If youâre satisfied, return to Export to
DVD. Select the image as the Source and your DVD burner as the Destination with the
desired burner speed and number of disks. Then all you have to do is insert appropriate
DVD media.
Software tools are available that simulate a virtual DVD player (i.e. a DVD drive) on
which you can play a file instead of a disc. This allows you to play back a DVD image (the
*.img file generated) on a software player such as WinDVD and check it before burning.
These tools are available on the Internet as freeware or shareware.
