Working with AVS DVD Authoring

Working with AVS DVD Authoring requires the following steps:

1. Create and edit a project to be able to save the results of your work and use them in future.

2. Add and manage the video on the Timeline so that the succession of the video files and chapters on your DVD was

correct.

3. Create and edit DVD menu pages so that the disc was attractive and easy to navigate.

4. Build DVD and burn it onto a disc to be able to watch it using a hardware or software DVD player.

Working with Projects

Working with AVS DVD Authoring is not too complicated but still requires some knowledge and the succession of your actions

should be correct so that the utmost result could be achieved.

The

work in AVS DVD Authoring is built on the projects concept, so that you could easily save the results of your work and load

them for editing any other time. Thus we can recommend you to follow the below rules:

1. Start a new project to load your videos into the program and manage their order, or open a previously saved project

for editing.

2. Change your project properties and settings.

3. Create a new title set or new title sets for your DVD menu. Each title set will let you import new video files independently,

so you could have, for instance, two or more movies on the same disc each having its own chapters and chapters menu.

4. Create chapters for your title set. The chapters are used so that the navigation through your DVD disc could be easy and

understandable and you could find the necessary episode without any difficulties.

5. Save your created project so that nothing were lost and you could either use your created project later to create a

different menu or load it once again to record another DVD disc with a menu.

When your DVD menu and disc structure is created you can edit the menu style and layout.

Starting a New Project

The

work in AVS DVD Authoring is done using the projects so that the user could save the results of the work to return to

them later or to use the same projects for several DVDs with menus. Before you can edit your DVD menu, you should start a

new project. Normally when you launch the AVS DVD Authoring program a new project starts automatically. But still you can create

a new project in three different ways:

I. Select the New Project button from the Top Toolbar. The program will create a new project with some of the pages already

created and their parameters predefined for you. After that you will be able to change the project parameters, load video files

and edit the menu.

II. Select the New Project option of the Main Menu. It is the same as to select the the New Project button from the Top

Toolbar.

III. Select the New Custom Project option of the Main Menu. You will be presented with an empty project that you will be able

to customize to your taste and wishes.
