Note When you remove audio or languages, the audio setup
menu and secondary audio on the copied disc may not behave as
expected. The main video and audio should continue to operate
as expected. To ensure best results, choose All.
As you make selections, the amount of compression needed and the
video quality indicator change. If you choose to only include the main
movie or reduce the number of languages and audio, the indicator
shows improved quality for the resulting DVD.
5 Click OK to continue and proceed with your copy.
DVD-Video Settings
The options shown below are only available when you are creating a DVD-
Video disc using video files as source.
With improvements in the latest version of Popcorn, a standard DVD-
Video disc can hold approximately 240 minutes (4 hours) of video as well as
Dolby Digital sound and full menu navigation. If your recorder supports
dual-layer recordable DVDs, you can create a DVD-Video with
approximately double this amount of content.
To make a DVD-Video:
1 Launch Popcorn and select Video Files in the DVD project area.
2 Add your video files to the project area by dragging video files from
your hard disk or Media Browser to the content area.
3 Choose optional disc settings:
■ Automatic Encoding: Choose this option to use all video and
audio encoding settings that maximize quality and fit the most
content on the disc. Variable bit rate encoding is used for video,
Dolby Digital 192 Kbps is used for audio, and aspect ratio is
determined automatically from the source videos.
