232 Chapter 17 Creating and Changing Destinations
A new entry appears in the Destinations table with Copy appended to its name. This
destination is identical in all other ways. Rename the duplicate destination as appropriate.
Creating Destinations for Use With DVD Studio Pro
When you are encoding video and audio files for use in DVD Studio Pro, you can make
importing and using the files within DVD Studio Pro easier by creating a custom
destination for them.
DVD Studio Pro includes the ability to automatically locate and, if applicable, import or
use an audio file when you import or use a video file with the same root name. For
example, if you assign a video file to a menu’s background, DVD Studio Pro looks for an
audio file with the same name and automatically sets it as the menu’s audio.
The default Compressor destinations add the Setting name to the filename. Since
different settings are required to output DVD compatible video and audio files, this
results in the video and audio filenames never being the same—even if they are from
the same source file.
When creating custom destinations in Compressor, you can choose to not include the
preset name file identifier with the output filename.
