System information
5. Choose a setting from the Audio template drop-down list to specify the parameters that should be
used for rendering your audio stream.
AC-3 audio for Blu-ray Disc uses Dolby Digital 2.0- or 5.1-channel encoding at 192 Kbps or 448
Kbps respectively.
Wave64 (PCM) audio for Blu-ray Disc can use any of the following formats:
n 48 kHz, 16 or 24-bit, stereo or 5.1 surround (available only for 5.1 surround projects)
n 96 kHz, 16 or 24-bit, stereo or 5.1 surround (available only for 5.1 surround projects)
6. Select the Render loop region only check box if you want to use only a portion of your project. If the
check box is cleared, the entire project will be rendered and saved to the disc.
7. Select the Use project output rotation setting check box if you're rendering a rotated project and
want to use the Output rotation setting from the Project Properties dialog for your rendered file.
When the check box is cleared, the media is rotated according to its Media Properties setting, but
the project itself is unrotated—you can use this setting to proof your project on an unrotated
display.
For more information, see "Creating Rotated Projects" on page 65.
8. Select the Insert chapter points at markers check box if you want to use markers from the timeline
as chapter points in your rendered file.
9. Select the Stretch video to fill output frame check box if you want to reformat your video so it fills
the output frame size listed in the Description box. When the check box is cleared, the current
aspect ratio is maintained, and black borders are added to fill the extra frame area (letterbox). This
option is useful when the desired output format does not match the frame aspect ratio of your
project.
10. If you selected the Render image and burn or Render image only radio button, the File path box
displays the folder and file that will be used to render your project.
If you selected the Burn existing image file radio button, type the path to the file you want to burn
in the File path box (or click the Browse button to locate the file).
11. Select recording options for your Blu-ray Disc drive:
a. Choose a drive from the Burn drive drop-down list to specify the drive you want to use.
b. From the Burn speed drop-down list, choose the speed at which you want to record. Max will
record using the fastest speed possible with your drive; decrease the speed if you have
difficulty recording.
c. Select the Eject when done check box if you want to eject the disc automatically when
burning has completed.
12. Click OK to start rendering your image file and burning your disc.
