After either of the first two options is selected, you will be offered to select a preset for your future DVD menu:

Please choose one of the existing presets or create a default menu selecting the Use Default option.

You will also need to change the main project properties so that it could better depict your concept and fit your display or TV set. The

succession of actions might differ, but we suggest that you follow the simple steps:

1. Load the videos that you want to use as your future DVD with a menu. To do that click the Import Video buttons

of the Top Toolbar or Timeline Toolbar, or select the Import Video item of the Project section of the Main

Menu. You can add more than one video, for that you should only select the necessary video files in the opened window or

add them one after another. You can load video files of most main formats (moreover, the files loaded at the same time for

one and the same DVD can be of different formats), they will be converted into the DVD MPEG-2 format once you select to

save your DVD with the menu created onto a disc.

If you need to remove some of the files from the future DVD, you can use the Remove Video button of the

Timeline Toolbar. Simply select the necessary video file in the Navigation Panel or right at the Timeline and

click the Remove Video button.

2. Change the disc preset - it can be selected from the Timeline Bottom Bar drop-down box. Selecting a correct preset will

help you record a DVD with good quality, depending on the total length of all video files you would like to include into your

DVD and the TV system used in your country (PAL or NTSC). Normally you should select a PAL (for Europe) or NTSC (for

Japan and Americas) High Quality DVD if its total duration will be no more than 60 minutes for a single layer DVD (108

minutes for a double layer DVD). Selecting a Long Play DVD (either PAL or NTSC) cannot be really recommended and should

be used only in case you really need to use it as the quality of the output DVD will be not optimal.

Note: if you select a double layer DVD, make sure that your DVD drive supports writing onto such

discs.
