DVD Burning Options

[Mark]

Hi again!

I'm still trying to figure out two things:

1. Regarding Canopus DVD Creator and Edius ProCoder, what is the benifit of choosing one over another for burning DVD's?

2. If using ProCoder to burn a DVD, how do you change the writing speed?

Thanks for you help!

The DVD Creator will both encode and burn the DVD but the features are fairly basic.
Procoder is for encoding only and you will have to use a different app (i.e.e Nero, etc.) to burn the DVD. That is where you will change the burn speed.

I'm obviously missing something here - sorry if I apear a bit dumb! Up to this point if I wanted to burn a DVD I'd:

1. Click file and choose Print to File.

2. Exporter window opens and I choose ProCoder Express for Edius Wizard.

3. After clicking okay the "Wizard" opens and again I choose Procoder.

4. Once next is pressed the Select Target window opens and asking what I want to create and I choose DVD the press next.

5. I choose NTSC then next.

6. DVD File Type comes up and I choose VOB to burn to DVD directly.

7. Next I choose CBR.

8. I then choose one of the three choices for times.

9. Then Optimize for Quality and next.

10. I then write in a file name.

11. Then press Convert.

Sorry to be so laborious in describing the steps I take, but I just thought it was needed. So again my question is, before I choose Convert, suely there's a place (that I can't find) where I can go to change the writing speed????

Thanks

If yu select print to disc, then you will not have so many things to do, and all you have to do is change the speed after you insert a disc in the drive, as it will only be acessable then......edit menus etc. and burn, no need for a second program......

Thanks - but I don't think we are on the same wavelength! My question has been about using the ProCoder, going through the step I out-line earlier and then burning a DVD from there. Thanks for your help anyway!

since you have ProCoder Express, you can use it to burn after you created the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders, I made a tutorial some time ago

Thanks Anton - that was very helpfull and I changed a couple of setting there. However, I still don't understand how/where I change the burning speed? Sorry!

Okay - I got it! Normally I would already have the disc in when I press convert, thinking that was the last step - I guess it's not if you want to change the speed - you can only do that once the disc is put in. I guess I'm just technically more retarded than the majority!!

Thanks all - The End (for this episode!)
