• VCD player compliant Ulead VideoStudio uses the VCD 2.0 format when creating VCDs. For
navigation menus with background
music, Ulead VideoStudio uses a format that requires "variable-bit-rate (VBR)" decoding.
However, some VCD players do not support VBR
decoding and therefore VCDs created in Ulead VideoStudio will not play correctly in these
players. Select this option to make sure that the VCD created will play in these players.
• Apply anti-flickering filter Select to apply the anti-flickering filter to the menu pages. The anti-
flickering filter reduces the "flickering" that happens when using a television (interlaced display)
to view the menu pages. However, this does not help when the menu page is viewed on
progressive scan devices such as computer monitors or projectors.
• TV system Select the type of your TV system (NTSC or PAL).
Trimming a video
You can trim a video using the Jog Bar, mark-in/out, and navigation controls. (See the
illustration below.) Trimming a video gives you the freedom to precisely edit the video length.
Adding/editing chapters
This feature is only available when the Create menus option is selected. By doing so, you can
create submenus linked to their associated video clip at the setup menu step later.
Represented as a video thumbnail in a submenu, each chapter is like a bookmark for a video
clip. Viewers can easily select a chapter then the video clip will immediately jump to the first
scene of that chapter and start the playback. This feature is particularly useful when you want to
attract your viewers by giving them the freedom
to choose a particular part of the movie to watch. Note that these small video thumbnails only
link to its “ mother” video without generating any additional physical video files. So, you don’ t
need to worry about the possibility of unexpected file size increase.
Notes:
• You can create up to 99 chapters for a video clip.
• If the Create menus option is not selected, you will be guided to the preview step immediately
without creating any menus after clicking Next.
• When you are creating a disc with only one VideoStudio project or one video clip, do not select
First clip as first play video if you want to create menus.
