Chapter 16 Finishing a Project 565
Once you have set the source and destination settings, including the preformat
settings in the Disc/Volume and Region/Copyright tabs, click the Build & Format button
to start the process. If you have chosen a DVD or DLT drive as the output device, you
are prompted to insert a blank disc or tape. See “Configuring the Output Type” on
page 583 for information on setting the destination, and “Preformat Disc Properties” on
page 572 for more information on these settings.
Using Build/Format With Dual-Layer Projects
Dual-layer projects are more difficult to run unattended.
• During the format part of the process, you will have to load a second blank disc or
tape once the first layer is written.
• There may be problems with the break point. If you chose the Automatic mode for
setting the break point, it is possible that a suitable marker may not exist.
Additionally, if you chose a specific marker to use as the break point, it may not be
suitable. DVD Studio Pro is unable to confirm either of these issues until the build
part of the process finishes. If there is a problem, an error dialog appears and the
format process is not started. Once you correct the problem by adding or selecting a
different marker, you will have to start the build/format process over again.
See “About Dual-Layer Discs” on page 576 for more information on setting a break point.
The Build Files for SD Projects
Once the build for your SD project starts, DVD Studio Pro creates two folders at the
location you specified: an AUDIO_TS folder and a VIDEO_TS folder. Additionally, a third
folder, JACKET_P, is created if you have assigned a jacket picture graphic.
The AUDIO_TS folder is used by systems authoring DVD-Audio titles. To meet the DVD
specification requirements, DVD Studio Pro creates the folder and leaves it empty. The
empty folder is included in the format process.
The JACKET_P folder contains three resolutions of the graphic assigned as the jacket
picture. See “About Jacket Pictures” on page 562 for more information.
