Item Description

Multiplex Audio/Video Select Yes if you want to multiplex audio, video, and subtitles when

you compile your Blu-ray Disc. You must select Yes the first time you

compile your project.

Select No if you want to compile only your BD-J code and reuse a

previous mux. For more information, see "Compiling your Blu-ray

Disc" on page 167.

Organization Number The organization number is a unique ID that represents the studio

creating the disc. The organization ID that is chosen should be used

on every disc created by that studio. The organization ID is a number

between 2147418113 and 2147483647. This number is required by

the Blu-ray Disc specification. The number is not managed by any

central agency at this time; it is simply up to you to pick a number at

random and use the same number for all of your projects.

This item is not available for DSA EX Edition projects. For more

information, see "Creating projects" on page 31.

Application Number The application number is the ID for the particular title being

authored. It is a number between 16384 and 32767. It is a good idea

to generate numbers for your projects in some logical order. This

number is different from your Disc ID number and is required by the

Blu-ray Disc specification.

This item is not available for DSA EX Edition projects. For more

information, see "Creating projects" on page 31.

Map numeric keys to

chapters

When creating a High Fidelity Pure Audio project, select this check

box to allow users to navigate the track list by pressing numeric keys

on the remote control.

Add chapters from

playlist X to reserved

playlist '00000.mpls'

Choose a setting from the drop-down list if you want to import

chapters from a playlist to the reserved playlist.

DoStudio Authoring creates playlist 00000.mpls internally and does

not allow you to customize the playlist using the DoStudio Authoring

interface.

For most projects, you should select None.

If you are creating a project with a Java application that was

programmed only to work with playlist with ID= 0 (00000.mpls) —

such as an externally created Java application imported with the

BDJO module or a High Fidelity Pure Audio project — choose a

playlist from the drop-down list to add that playlist's chapters to the

reserved playlist.

For more information, see "BDJOModule" on page 161.
