CyberLink PowerProducer

Welcome

Welcome to the CyberLink family of digital video tools. CyberLink

PowerProducer allows you to finalize your digital video productions

and burn them to disc. You can use CyberLink PowerProducer for light

editing tasks and to capture new media. When it’s time to polish your

movie, CyberLink PowerProducer is the best production tool to use.

What is a production tool?

A production tool turns the movie on your hard drive into a Blu-ray Disc,

HD DVD, DVD or VCD that you can play on a disc player and share with

friends. But that’s not even half the story. CyberLink PowerProducer’s

production functions include the following:

• Importing and Capturing Media

• imports video files and photos

• captures from a DV or HDV camcorder

• captures from a TV or VCR

• captures from a web cam or digital camera

• Video and Picture Editing

• cuts, merges and splits video clips

• matches slide show length to background music duration

• adds transitions to slide shows

• Customizing Your Disc

• creates disc menus with video thumbnails and background

• sets chapters within video content

• adds background music to disc menus

• Disc Burning and Utilities

• burns CDs, DVDs, HD DVDs and Blu-ray Discs

• burns video right to disc from a variety of sources

• erases discs that contain unwanted content

• copies discs and burns discs from a disc image

Note: The functions available to you may differ due to the version installed

on your computer.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Production Flow

The digital movie production process involves a

combination of artistry and technology, beginning with

raw video footage and ending with a movie production

burned to disc. CyberLink PowerProducer provides the

easiest way to produce your finished movie and burn it

to the medium of your choice.

Pre-Production

Before you produce your movie using CyberLink

PowerProducer, you must first gather (or create)

its component parts: video files, photos and

background music.

You may collect raw footage yourself with a

camcorder or other recording device, or you may

simply use non-copyright protected media files

that you have on hand.

You may even have already created your own

movie in a video editing software program, such

as CyberLink PowerDirector.

Whatever the case, you should have all of the bits

and pieces of your movie on hand so that the

production process goes as smoothly as possible.

CyberLink PowerProducer

Disc Production

When your movie is ready for production, that’s the

time to use CyberLink PowerProducer. Because

CyberLink PowerProducer offers basic video editing

tools, your movie does not have to be perfectly

polished at this stage.

If you have your media clips on hand, but have not

previously edited and polished your movie, you

might expect to use CyberLink PowerProducer to

perform the following tasks:

1. Specify the disc type and video quality you want to use.

2. Acquire video content and add a slide show.

3. Cut video content to a desired length.

4. Split your video into chapters for disc navigation.

5. Add background music to a video clip.

6. Specify the buttons, background image, background music and

layout of your menu page.

7. Preview your production.

8. Burn your production to disc.

Ready to Burn

When you are ready to burn your movie to disc you should have several

discs on hand that are compatible with your burning drive. Make sure

not only that the media type is correct (i.e.: that you have DVDs for a

DVD drive and so on), but that your discs are all in the correct format

(CD-R, DVD+RW, BD-RE, HD DVD-R and so on).

Keep several discs on hand in case your first production doesn’t turn

out the way you expected, or to make duplicate copies when you are

satisfied with the results.

Chapter 1: Introduction

The PowerProducer

Program

When you first open CyberLink PowerProducer, the program appears as

follows:

Edit Disc

Edit a disc after burning.

Right-to-Disc

Burn video directly to a DVD.

Open Project

Open an existing CyberLink

PowerProducer project.

Produce Movie Disc

slide shows, create a movie

production.

Disc

Utilities

Manage your

discs and

production

files.

CyberLink PowerProducer

PowerProducer Projects

To open a CyberLink PowerProducer project, click Open

Project on the main CyberLink PowerProducer window.

CyberLink PowerProducer saves your project as a .PPP file.

This project file is the collection of all of your movie

content, your special effects and your settings, but is not

the final production. This file must be rendered (compiled

or created) from its component parts in order to create the

final production, much like a batter must be baked to

make a cake out of eggs, flour and milk.

Changes you make to your video clips, audio files or photos in

CyberLink PowerProducer do not affect your original media. Since your

settings are all saved in the project file, you can cut, edit or delete clips

in CyberLink PowerProducer, but still keep your original files untouched

on your hard drive. So let yourself get creative! If you end up changing

things too drastically, you can always start over.

You can use the standard Windows buttons to create a new CyberLink

PowerProducer project file, as well as open or save existing files. The

buttons for these tasks are located at the top of the window under most

CyberLink PowerProducer function

Note: These tools are not always available in all functions.

upgrade your software, click in the row of buttons across the top

of the window. A web browser window opens to CyberLink’s

cyberstore, where you can upgrade your program as well as receive

other information about CyberLink and CyberLink’s products.

Note: You must be connected to the Internet to use this feature.

CyberLink PowerProducer

Production Preferences

CyberLink PowerProducer offers a range of preferences to better suit

the way you work. To set your preferences, click the button,

available on most windows. The Preferences dialog box opens,

displaying the Project tab and the Video/Audio tab, which contain

customizable preferences. These preferences are described below.

Project Preferences

Note: The project options that are available depend on the disc format that

you have selected.

• Movie playback mode: Set your video to return to the disc

menu or continue on to the next movie after each movie on the

disc finishes playing.

• Working directory: This is the directory that CyberLink

PowerProducer uses for output. This directory is set during

installation. If you change this directory, be sure that the hard

disc it is on has enough free space to accommodate your

production.

• Temporary directory: This is the directory that CyberLink

PowerProducer uses for temporary files that are automatically

deleted when you exit CyberLink PowerProducer. This directory

is set during installation.

• Default name for captured video: Enter a name to give to each

video file you capture. CyberLink PowerProducer adds a unique

timestamp to distinguish each captured file.

• Split captured video files according to disc size limit: Split

video as you capture to ensure that each captured video file can

fit on the type of disc you are using.

• Create new chapter every: Create a new chapter automatically

whenever the set time period is reached.

• Enable Cyberlink MPEG@Best technology: Check to balance

burning speed and video quality when you burn MPEG video.

• Add thumbnail index: Check to add a thumbnail index to the

disc’s menu.

• Enable video thumbnail: Check to allow chapter thumbnails to

display moving video on the disc’s menu. If you select this

Chapter 1: Introduction

option, you can limit the length of video that displays by

entering a value for the User-defined motion menu duration

option.

• Eject after erasing: Check to have CyberLink PowerProducer

automatically eject a disc after erasing is complete.

• Display TV safe zone: Check to display a box in the Author

window that indicates the safe zone when creating the disc

menu. Utilizing this feature ensures that menu items, including

text, thumbnails and buttons, will be within the display range of

most TVs.

• Default menu style: Specify your favorite style (.fl file) as the

style for each new CyberLink PowerProducer project.

Video/Audio Preferences

Note: The video and audio quality options that are available depend on the

disc format that you have selected.

• Video quality: Select a video quality for your disc: HD (High

Definition), SD (Standard Definition), HQ (High Quality), SP

(Standard Play), LP (Long Play), EP (Extended Play) or Smart

Fit. The video quality settings offer different bit rates, resulting in

files of different sizes. The higher the quality of the video, the

larger the resulting file and the shorter the length of video that

can fit onto a disc. Further, more CPU power is required for

capturing and rendering higher quality video. The Smart Fit

option automatically adjusts the bit rate to the best quality video

file that fits exactly to the capacity of the disc you are using.

• Audio quality: The different audio qualities are as follows: LPCM

is an uncompressed audio format. Dolby Digital audio uses the

Dolby Digital Consumer Encoder format. MPEG audio uses the

MPEG-1 audio compression format. (This audio format may have

compatibility issues in NTSC.) MP3 uses the MPEG-1 Layer 3

audio format.

• Location: Select the location where your disc will be played.

Location determines the TV format (PAL or NTSC) that is used.

CyberLink PowerProducer

Acquire Content

In order to assemble a video production you must first acquire your

video content. You may already have digital files you simply want to

import into CyberLink PowerProducer, or you may have raw footage

from either an analog or a digital source that you need to capture.

Note: Some camcorders are recognized as external disk drives on your PC. In

this case you can use the

Import Video Files function to import the files

directly from the external drive (camcorder) to your hard drive.

Your production can contain a mixture of video and photos. If you

would like to mix video clips with still photos, you must separately

acquire your video media and create a slide show for your photos (see

"Import Photos" on page 18).

The import and capture functions are located on the Content window

within the Produce Movie Disc function.

To get to the Content window, do this:

1. Start CyberLink PowerProducer.

2. Click Produce Movie Disc.

Chapter 2: Produce a Movie Disc

3. Select your disc type and then click . The Content window

opens.

used. The sections that follow describe the specific steps to take for

importing or capturing content using the available devices on your

system.

After import, video clips and photos (in albums) appear in the Author

pane as thumbnails. To learn about the actions you can perform on

video clips, see "Edit Clips" on page 27. To learn about the actions you

can perform on your photos, see "Create a Photo Slide Show" on page

30.

Chapter 5: Reference

2. What is Blu-ray Disc?

Blu-ray Discs (BD) are optical discs developed to enable burning and

playing High-Definition video (HD), or to store data. BDs are burned using

different technologies from CDs or DVDs, but can be made compatible

with the appropriate hardware. BDs can be single-layer (2 hours HD/25GB

of data) or dual-layer (4 hours HD or 50GB of data). CyberLink

PowerProducer supports burning to rewritable, single-layer Blu-ray discs.

3. What are HD DVD Discs?

HD DVD (High Density Digital Versatile Disc or High Definition Digital

Video Disc) is a digital optical media format that can hold high definition

video or other data. HD DVD is similar to the competing Blu-ray Disc,

which also uses the same CD-size (120 mm diameter), optical data storage

media and 405 nm wavelength blue laser.

CyberLink PowerProducer

Disc Types & Video

Recording Formats

This section describes the different disc types and disc formats that you

can use in CyberLink PowerProducer.

Disc Types

In broad terms, discs are divided into the following categories:

• CD (which, being the earlier technology, is more widely

supported)

• DVD (which holds many times the amount of content, but

requires a different drive)

• Blu-ray Disc (new technology that enables the playback of High-

Definition video (HD))

• HD DVD (new technology that enables the playback of High-

Definition video (HD))

The following is a brief description of the different disc types supported

by CyberLink PowerProducer.

Multi Session Discs

Multi session discs allow you to append additional data after the

original burning session. CyberLink PowerProducer creates a multi

session disc whenever you burn a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, BD-RE,

BD-R or HD DVD-R disc and choose not to close or finalize the disc.

Therefore, you can continue to add content to a multi session disc until

the disc is full or closed, at which point you can no longer append any

further data.

Chapter 5: Reference

CD Types

CDs contain up to 74/80 minutes of high quality video or 650/700 MB of

data.

DVD Types

DVD is a high capacity disc that holds anywhere from 4.7-17 GB of data,

or from roughly 2-8 hours of video (depending on the type of DVD and

the video quality setting). Using the High Quality setting, you can

expect to be able to record 1-2 hours of video.

DVDs can be played on DVD players and computers equipped with

DVD drives. For more detailed information on DVD-R/RW formats, see

www.dvdrhelp.com/dvd or other web sources. For more detailed

information on DVD+R/RW formats, see www.dvdrw.com or other web

sources.

Type Description

CD-R

CD-R is a “write once” CD format. CD-RW burners and most

new DVD burners can write in CD-R, and most DVD players

can also read this format.

CD-RW

CD-RW is an erasable CD format. CD-RW burners and most

new DVD burners can write in CD-RW, and most DVD

players can also read this format.

Type Description

DVD-R

DVD-R, a “write once” DVD format, is a competitor

product to DVD+R, and is therefore not compatible

with that format. Some new DVD burners can write in

both DVD-R and DVD+R, and most DVD players can

read both formats.

data storage media and 405 nm wavelength blue laser.

Video Recording Formats

Below is a description of the video recording formats that CyberLink

PowerProducer supports for burning discs:

Format Description

DVD-Video

DVD-Video is the most widely supported DVD

movie format, which can be played on almost all

much higher video quality than VCD. It can hold

35 minutes of video, and can contain menus and

chapters like a DVD, as well as slide shows with

background audio. SVCDs can be played on a PC

with DVD playback software, and on some

standalone DVD players.

CyberLink PowerProducer

Disc Type/Format Compatibility

Since some commercial CD players cannot play CD-RWs, it is

recommended that you use CD-R/CD+R discs to burn music CDs.

It is recommended that you use RW or DVD-RAM discs for video in DVD-

VR format. DVD-VR discs can be played on a DVD player with the RW

Compatible logo.

It is recommended that you use DVD+R/RW or DVD-R/RW discs for

video in DVD+VR format. DVD+VR discs can be played on a DVD-Video

player.

VCD

VCD (video compact disc) is a CD video format

that uses MPEG compression. VCD contains audio

and video of a quality about the same as that of

VHS, and also contains menus and chapters like a

DVD. VCD can be played on a PC with VCD/MPEG

playback software and on most stand-alone DVD

players.

BDAV

BDAV is a video recording format for Blu-ray discs.

BDAV is a simplified recording format mainly

designed for pure video recording and does not

offer advanced interface features like those on a

DVD disc.

HD DVD Video

HD DVD Video is a video recording format for HD

DVD discs.

Format Description

Chapter 5: Reference

Formats & Qualities

When you burn video to disc, you must take into consideration not only

the quality you want to use, but also the TV format of the country or

region in which you want to watch the movie disc you burn. The section

below offers information on both of these topics, allowing you to burn

video discs that suit your playback capabilities.

Video Formats

The two video formats (NTSC and PAL) have been adopted as standards

by television broadcasters around the world. The main difference

between the two formats is the number of frames per second they

offer: 30 in NTSC, and 25 in PAL. This difference means that a movie

recorded in NTSC format is unplayable by a PAL player and vice versa.

Fortunately, the question of whether to use PAL or NTSC television

format for your disc can be reduced to the following simple question:

• In which country or region do you plan to play this disc?

Since all countries use either the NTSC or PAL format, knowing the

location in which the disc will be played pretty much resolves this issue

for you. By selecting the desired country or region in CyberLink

PowerProducer, the television format is automatically set.

Note: Generally speaking, the United States, Japan, Canada and Mexico use

NTSC, while Germany, Great Britain, South America, Australia and most of

Western European and Asian countries use PAL.

CyberLink PowerProducer

Video Qualities

The different video quality settings (HQ, SP, LP, and EP) available in

CyberLink PowerProducer result in a final picture of higher or lower

quality and a movie file of larger or smaller size. Better quality video also

demands more from your computer and limits the video duration you

can burn to disc. Below is a comparison of the length of video you can

expect to be able to burn to a DVD using the different qualities:

• HQ (High Quality): 60 mins

• SP (Standard Play): 120 mins

• LP (Long Play): 180 mins

• EP (Extended Play): 240 mins

For the best possible image in your final production, select the highest

video quality that will allow your production to fit onto the disc type

you are using. Your ultimate choice of video quality, however, should be

based both on the image quality you want in your final production and

on the processing power of your computer. The table below illustrates

the availability of video qualities when burning different disc types.
