Making a DivX Disc
This CD or DVD can be played in a set-top DVD player that supports DivX
discs. DivX discs on DVD can hold 10 times more video than a DVD-Video
disc and offer high quality, but have no menu navigation and less universal
playback. DivX HD discs offer 720p high definition video resolution, which
DVD-Video cannot. Playing DivX discs on a computer usually requires
additional player software (which is installed by the Toast Setup Assistant).
Note Some Blu-ray players also support DivX discs. DivX discs
on Blu-ray disc can hold more than 50 times more video than a
DVD-Video disc.
Refer to the hardware section of DivX.com for information about DivX-
certified players.
If you have a DivX file that you want to watch in a standard set-top DVD
player, you should create a DVD-Video disc instead. See Making a DVD-
Video on page 93.
To make a DivX disc:
1 At the left side of the Toast window, click Video and choose DivX Disc.
2 Choose optional disc settings:
■
DivX Encoding: Determines how Toast handles non-DivX files
and DivX files.
■
Automatic: Toast encodes non-DivX files and reencodes
existing non-standard DivX files into standard DivX format
based on the profile selected for that video.
■
Always: Toast encodes or reencodes all files into standard
DivX format based on the profile selected for that video.
■
Never: Toast does not encode or reencode any files.
3 Add video files to the disc by dragging and dropping them into the
Content Area from your hard disk or the Media Browser.
