Burn Video DVD

Important

• Your computer must be equipped with a DVD burner to use this feature.

Overview

Blaze Media Pro includes a video DVD burning feature that is both powerful and easy to use. It copies, or burns, AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 (DVD compliant and non-DVD compliant), and WMV files to DVD-R and DVD+R discs. Blaze Media Pro automatically converts the video to the proper format in the same process. MPEG-2 DVD-compliant can burn without encoding.

The DVD burning feature is very fast and easy to use, and it is flexible enough to burn full movies, as well as small clips. In addition, you can compile multiple movie files into chapters to compose the DVD. After laying out the DVD structure, you configure the DVD burning process using other options on the dialog box.

General Procedure

To use the video DVD burning software, click Conversions > Burn Video DVD on the main window. The Burn Video DVD dialog box opens so you can add files, lay them out in a specific order, and configure the DVD burning process. The general procedure for burning DVDs is as follows:

1. Use an existing DVD layout or add video files and order them as you want.
2. Set compression, format and resizing options, or accept the defaults.
3. Select the Temp folder.
