CyberLink PowerDirector
Configuring Disc Preferences
The following preferences are available on the 3D Disc tab:
Disc Format
select the disc format you want to use to burn your video to a disc.
Depending on the disc format that you select, there may be a drop down
option to select the capacity of the disc.
Note: you can also burn your video project to a removable disk in the AVCHD*
format. To do this, select the AVCHD button and then your specific removable
disk type (Removable Disk, SD/SDHC/SDXC Card, Memory Stick) from the
drop down. * Optional feature in CyberLink PowerDirector. Check the version
table on our web site for detailed versioning information.
Video and Audio Settings
Select the video recording format: if available for your selected disc format,
select the recording format of the video on your disc and its aspect ratio.
Select the video encoding format and quality: if available for your selected
disc format, select an encoding format and video quality for your disc. The
Smart Fit option automatically adjusts the bitrate to the best quality video file
that fits exactly to the capacity of the disc you are using.
Select the audio encoding format and channels: select an audio format for
your disc, and the number of channels it is capable of outputting to. If
burning a DVD, Blu-ray Disc, or AVCHD disc, you can select Dolby Digital to
create a disc with Dolby Digital 2 or 5.1 surround sound. If burning a Blu-ray
Disc, you can also select DTS to have CyberLink PowerDirector use the DTS 5.1
Producer to create a disc with DTS 5.1 surround sound.
Note: the video quality and audio type options that are available depend on the
disc format that you have selected.
3D output format: select the 3D output source format of the video that is
rendered and then burned to the disc.
Note: subtitles and disc menus are not supported on 3D discs using the side-by-
side 3D source format.
Enable CyberLink TrueTheater Surround: select this option to enable
CyberLink TrueTheater Surround to enhance the menu background music.
Choose from Living Room, Theater, or Stadium.
