· | Work Directory for DVD Authoring in this directory, a temporary folder will be created using the Project ID as the folder name. This directory is where the chapter thumbnail bitmaps and the temporary bitmaps rendered for the DVD menus. To optimize the performance of the DVD authoring stage, it is suggested that the 'Work Directory' and the DVD directory be located on different physical hard drives. (not just different partitions of the same hard drive) The VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders must be placed at the root of a drive and their contents will be completed at the end of the authoring stage. If an image of those directories is created, it will be placed in the 'Work Directory'. If for some reason another project is run without completing the image creation stage, the previously authored DVD files will be overwritten.

· | Work Directory for Captured Streams in this directory, a temporary folder will be created using the Project ID as the folder name. This directory is where the audio and video elementary streams will be written as they are captured and encoded. For optimal performance of the DVD authoring stage, it is suggested that the 'Work Directory', 'Capture Directory' and the 'DVD directory' be located on different physical hard drives. (not just different partitions of the same hard drive).

· | Create VIDEO_TS in unique project directories if this option is checked, each time a job is authored, a subdirectory will be created in the directory specified below. This option is useful for archiving VIDEO_TS folders rather than just using them as a means to creating an image file.
|
|
· | Directory for building VIDEO_TS this directory or drive letter is where the DVD directories will be created. If you wish to create the AUDIO_TS/VIDEO_TS folder on the root of a drive, simple specify the drive letter with a colon. See the comment regarding optimization of DVD authoring and the location of the Work Directory relative to the DVD Directory. If using the copy protection, this option must specify a directory rather than just a drive letter.

|
· | Directory for saved project files this directory specifies where the project file is written when a project completes. The project file is named by using the Project ID as the base part of the name with the extension "job". This is the case regardless of what the filename of the project happens to be. This is also the directory that is checked for files that would indicate a non-unique Project ID.

|
· | Directory for bitmap files this directory specifies the default location to look for bitmaps that are used as the backgrounds for the disc label and case wrap. Any other bitmap files that might be used on the print assets would typically be stored here.
|
|
· | Directory for wave files this directory specifies the default location for the wave files that are used for audio notifications.
|
|
· | Directory for *.PRN files this directory specifies the default location for *.PRN files to be used for the print assets.
|
|
· | Directory for menu themes this directory specifies the default location for menu theme files. The *.menu files should be located in this directory and there should be bitmap subdirectories directories where the bitmaps for the menus are stored.
