Burn to Disc

When you have acquired your media, assembled your story, edited

your clips, added audio and other effects, and customized the layout

and look of your DVD, then it’s time to burn your production to disc.

CyberLink PowerProducer offers several methods to burn a disc,

which are useful under different circumstances. You can burn a disc

as the last step in your movie production process, use the QuickBurn

function to skip unnecessary editing steps, or burn DV content

directly to DVD.

Note: If you are not familiar with the many disc types available in

PowerProducer, see The Right Technology on p.7.

Set Your Burning Configuration

Before you burn to disc for the first time, set your burning

configuration on the Final Output page. After you set this

configuration, PowerProducer uses the same configuration each time

2. Select your recording drive.

3. Select a recording speed.

Note: It is recommended that you burn at 1x speed to avoid

errors during burning.

your drive write without errors when your hard drive is busy

or system resources are low.

4. Click to set your configuration and return to the Final

Output page.
