19 – 536 The Audio Montage
Editing the CD/DVD-A view list
Once you have prepared a CD track list as described previously, you can
go ahead and write the CD. For DVD-Audio you first need to make some
settings in the DVD-Audio options dialog (see “The DVD-Audio options
dialog” on page 537) before adding the Montage to a DVD-Audio project
(see “Creating and opening a DVD-Audio project” on page 552).
However, there are some additional settings you can adjust in the CD/
DVD-A view track list:
• You can hide or show CD/DVD-A track list columns by using the column pop-up
menu (accessed by clicking the arrow button to the left of the column headings).
You can also drag and resize columns as usual.
• You can adjust all settings (except the “Length” value) numerically in the list.
However, changing track start and end positions may result in warning messages, as de-
scribed above.
• If the option “Allow reordering by drag-and-drop” is activated on the CD/DVD-A
view : Options menu, you can change the order of CD/DVD-A tracks by dragging
tracks in the CD/DVD-A view list.
There is one restriction: you can only drag tracks that are enclosed by CD/DVD track start
and end markers – not by CD/DVD track splice markers. Tracks divided by a CD/DVD track
boundary marker (a combined start and end marker) can only be moved as an entity.
About the “ATS” column in the DVD-A view list
ATS stands for “Audio Title Set” and defines a set of one or more tracks.
An ATS start is automatically added for the first DVD track in the list. Nor-
mally, you just leave this as it is, without ticking the ATS column for any of
the following tracks. There are only two instances where you should add a
new ATS:
• To increase the number of pictures you can use for slide show presenta-
tions (i.e. pictures placed on the time line for DVD-Audio tracks).
A DVD-A player has a buffer limited to 2 MB for pictures. At each ATS start, the player
scans all the pictures used in the Montage (i.e. up until the next ATS start) into this buffer,
so that the audio streaming isn’t interrupted during playback. If you use just a few pictures
(e.g. one per track), it’s usually best to use one ATS. But if you wish to use more pictures
you can add a new ATS further down in the track list, to increase the number of pictures you
can use in a given group on the DVD.
• To increase the number of available sub-indexes.
There are 255 sub-indexes available per ATS (up to 99 per track).
