FORMATTING AND PROOFING THE PROJECT 3-17

Formatting and Prooﬁng the Project

When a project is complete, you compile all of its assets into one ﬁle (a

disc image) to proof and send out to a plant for replication. In this section,

you will format the project and play it back with the prooﬁng tool to see

the differences between prooﬁng a formatted and an unformatted project.

1 Click FORMAT in the DVD Creator launcher.

2 In the DVD Format Server window, do the following:

Note: The Destination folder must be empty.

3 Click Start. The formatting tool begins multiplexing the ﬁles. This should

take about six minutes (the duration of all the video clips). The imaging

tool starts as well, and should take about three to four minutes.

4 When formatting completes, open the prooﬁng tool and open

Lesson2.image (located on the media drive).
