Compiling, burning, and formatting your disc
With your menus authored and your video structure organized in your playlist, you are now ready to
compile your Blu-ray Disc™.
If you want to play your disc on a set-top player, you will need to burn a disc.
When you are ready to send your disc to a replication facility, you must format the disc to create the
BDCMF image.
Compiling your Blu-ray Disc
When your menus are authored and your playlist is set up it is time to compile your Blu-ray Disc. Compiling
allows you to watch your Blu-ray Disc in a software player, such as WinDVD, or on a set-top player. The
compile process is the step in which your menu elements, playlist organization, and primary audio, video,
and subtitle files are written into a file structure that can be read by Blu-ray Disc players.
A compiled Blu-ray Disc folder can be burned to BD-R/RE using disc-writing software such as ImgBurn. For
more information, see "Using ImgBurn" on page 171.
This section describes the compile process and the timesaving Quick Compile (multiplexer off) setting that
allows you to reuse multiplexed audio/video files from previous compiles.
DoStudio Authoring includes three compile modes: Compile (multiplexer on), Compile 3D Disc as 2D Disc,
and Quick Compile (multiplexer off).
A sound is played when the compile process is complete.
Compile
When you compile your Blu-ray Disc, DoStudio Authoring verifies your project, multiplexes your video and
audio, and writes the necessary binary files, transport streams, and BD-J code to create a compiled Blu-ray
Disc image.
It is normal to compile your project numerous times throughout the authoring process. The first time you
compile your project, you must use the Compile feature rather than Quick Compile.
To compile your Blu-ray Disc, choose Compile > Compile Blu-ray Disc, click the Compile Blu-ray Disc
button on the toolbar, or press F5.
