Disc Encoding Settings
When creating a Music DVD, DVD-Video, or Blu-ray video, you can
choose various options for the video and audio encoding. Some of the more
common settings are also available in the Options area below the disc
formats. (The Disc Settings dialog contains these common options and
more.)
To change the Encoding Settings:
1 Start a new Music DVD or Video Disc project:
■
See Making a Music DVD on page 78.
■
See Making a DVD or BD Video Disc on page 93.
2 At the left side of the Toast window, click More and choose the
Encoding tab.
3 Choose either Automatic or Custom:
■
Automatic: Choose this option to use 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 kHz is used for audio, and aspect ratio is determined
automatically from the source videos.
■
Custom: Choose this option to manually set video and audio
encoding options. This option is recommended only for people
who have an understanding of video and audio encoding
terminology.
4 If you selected Automatic, choose the Video Quality:
■
Good: Suitable for simple video, such as people talking—fastest
processing time.
■
Better: Suitable for most video—average processing time.
■
Best: Suitable for complex video, such as fast motion—slowest
processing time.
