Instant Encore 1.5

Chapter 8: Burn Baby Burn! Burning the Project to Disk

Once the menus are built, the timelines are asssembled and everything is linked together, it's time to tie up all the loose ends. This can include adding DVD ROM content for use on a computer or setting up copy protection and region codes.

At this point you can save yourself a few dollars in blank DVDs and or a few hundred dollars in duplication costs by checking and rechecking your disc. Just because it works on your computer doesn't mean it will work on all set top players. And one seemingly insignificant detail can ruin the entire project.

Use the Disc Tab to Name a Disc

When you started your new project, the project name became the disc name. If you didn't give your project a name, and you burned the disc, the disc volume would be named Untitled. Not the best name for a disc. Check the Disc Tab to see if the name is suitable for the disc.

Note

The disc name is displayed when a disc is inserted into computers and some set top DVD players.

To Name a Disc:

In the Project Window, click on the Disc Tab

Click in the top field next to the disc

Enter a name for the disc

Now when the disc is inserted into computer that can read volume labels this will be the name displayed.
