DVD Writing Property Page
|
Top |
The DVD burning page is used to specify whether to create a DVD disc or not. If the Write DVD option is not checked, the DVD can still be authored and the assets printed. This page is also used to indicate output to a duplicating/printing unit.

· | Media Type is used in a couple possible ways. It is used with some duplicators so that the duplicator can check to make sure the correct media type is loaded. It is also used to make sure the image size is not too big.
|
|
· | Volume name is used to specify the name that would appear in the file explorer if the disc were inserted into a computer.
|
|
· | Number of copies to write will determine the number of copies both for local writes as well as for duplicators. Even if the Write DVD option is not checked, this value will still affect the quantity of the printed assets.
|
|
· | Project Priority is used by some duplicators to allow projects to be completed ahead of other projects that are already in the queue.
|
|
· | Select Primary DVD writer to use specifies which local drive or which duplicator to use for writing the DVD.
|
|
· | Write DVD Now button is used to write a DVD to the specified DVD writer. This is useful for testing or for simply writing another DVD for a previously run project.
|
|
· | Abort DVD Writing allows a write in progress to be aborted. The disc will have to be discarded, so the only reason to abort would be to avoid having to wait for the write to complete. The abort function will only work for local drives, and not for duplicators.
|
|
· | Stop Playing Wave File is used to stop the write complete audio notification if it is enabled.
|
|
If a duplicator is selected as the primary DVD writer, different options may be presented and will be discussed.

· | Destination Directory for Duplicator Job File is a directory, usually on the duplicator system where job files will be written. When a duplicator job file is written to that directory, the duplicator job will automatically begin. If you want the job to be created but not run immediately, you can change the directory and then copy the job file to the job directory when ready for the job to be run.

|
· | Options if there are additional options that are not specified by the controls in the upper half of this page, they might be configurable by the Options... button if it is enabled.
