Sharing to a DVD
DVDs are ideal for large projects and generally have the highest quality of any option. Depending on the complexity
and length of the project and your computer speed, encoding (compressing) video and audio for a disc can take
hours. If you plan to burn multiple discs with the same content and quality, you can save time by burning them in
the same session, which compresses the project only once.
To share to a DVD:
1. Connect and turn on all external DVD or Blu-ray
burners.
2. In the Share workspace in the Tasks panel, click Disc.
Disc view appears (Figure 5).
3. In Disc view, choose either DVD or Blu-ray from the
menu.
4. Select Disc as the Burn To option.
5. Type a name for the disc.
This name appears in Windows if you insert the disc
into a computer after the DVD burn has been completed.
(The default name is a date stamp in 24-hour format:
YYYYMMDD_hhmmss.)
6. Select a burner from the Burner Location menu.
7. Make sure that a compatible disc is inserted in the drive.
If you insert a disc, click Rescan to check all connected
burners for valid media.
8. In the Copies box, enter the number of discs you want to
burn during this session.
You are prompted to insert new discs until all have been
burned. Encoding the video and audio takes place only
once.
9. For Presets, select the option for the television standard
used in the geographic location of your audience.
