more information, see "Creating projects" on page 31.

BCA Enabled Select this check box if you want the ISAN number printed in the

Burst Cutting Area (BCA) of the Blu-ray Disc. This setting applies only

if you are using Managed Copy.

Invalid Region JPEG If you plan to restrict one or more regions from playing the disc,

you'll need to create an invalid region JPEG image. The purpose of

this image is to inform the viewer of the disc that his or her Blu-ray

Disc player cannot play this title because it is not in the correct

region. You can make this image to be anything you'd like. The only

requirements are that the image is 1920 x 1080 and it is a JPEG

image.

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