The DVD and Blu-ray / AVCHD destinations include the following settings:
• Output Device: Displays your system’s suitable output devices, including optical drives
and the computer’s internal disk.
You can use your computer’s internal disk to create a disk image (.img) file that you can
copy to an external drive or burn to DVD media later.
• Layers: Displays the available layers on the destination media.
• Automatic: Automatically detects the type of disc you can use.
• Single-layer: Identifies the disc as a single-layer disc. You can use this option to
force a double-layer disc to be treated as a single-layer disc.
• Double-layer: Identifies the disc as a double-layer disc. You can use this option to
force the disk image to be formatted for a double-layer disc when you choose Hard
Drive as your output device.
Important: Depending on the project’s length, choosing Double-layer when using a
single-layer disc may result in an error while burning the disc.
• Build type: The DVD destination builds a VIDEO_TS folder; the Blu-ray / AVCHD
destination builds a BDMV folder. These folders contain files correctly formatted for the
type of disc selected. Use this pop-up menu to choose how you want to save that data:
• Disc: Available when Output Device is set to a compatible device, burns the folder to
a disc.
• File: Available when Output Device is set to Hard Drive, embeds the folder into a disk
image file that is formatted correctly to be burned to a disc later.
• Folder: Available when Output Device is set to Hard Drive, leaves the folder as is; the
media can then be played or later burned to a disc.
• Disc template: Displays the available disc templates.
• Title: Type the disc title in the text field. This title will be displayed on the disc menus.
• Volume name: Type the name that will appear when the disc is mounted on a computer.
Only uppercase characters and certain punctuation marks are permitted in the name.
Volume names are typically limited to 30 characters.
• Color Space: Indicates the color space of the output media file.
• When disc loads: Displays the automatic action taken when you play the disc.
• Show Menu: Displays the main menu.
• Play Movie: Begins playing the movie immediately.
• Markers: Not available for Blu-ray when using an AVCHD output device. Select the
checkbox to include chapter marker text as subtitles on the output disc. Users can
navigate between the chapter markers by pressing the Next Chapter or Previous
Chapter button on the DVD or Blu-ray player. See
Add chapter markers in Final Cut Pro.
• Loop: Select this checkbox to add a Loop Movie button to the disc main menu. This
gives users the option to play the movie in a continuous loop.
• Background: Click the Add button to select a graphic for the disc’s background. This
image will be used instead of the template background.
