Video and Audio Settings

•Select the video recording format: if available for your selected disc format, select the recording format of the video on your disc and its aspect ratio.

•Select the video encoding format and quality: if available for your selected disc format, select a video encoding format and video quality for your disc from the drop-downs. For quality, select the Smart Fit option if you want CyberLink PowerDirector to automatically adjust the bitrate to create the best quality video file possible, which will fit the capacity of the disc you are using.

•Select the audio encoding format and channels: select an audio format (LPCM or DTS) for your disc. LPCM is available for all disc types and produces 2 channel audio only. The DTS encoding format is available when burning a DVD or Blu-ray Disc, and uses the DTS 5.1 Producer to create a disc with DTS 5.1 surround sound.

•Enable CyberLink TrueTheater Surround: if available, select this option to enable CyberLink TrueTheater Surround to enhance the menu background music. Choose from Living Room, Theater, or Stadium.

2.Click the Burn in 3D button. The Final Output window displays.

3.Configure the production preferences as follows:

•Current drive: the burning drive (or removable disc for the AVCHD format) CyberLink PowerDirector will use to burn the production to disc. If necessary, click the button to select another drive and configure the burn settings. See Configuring Burn Settings for more information. If you are burning your production to a rewritable disc, you can click to erase it. See Erasing Discs for more information.

•Disc volume label: in the field provided, enter a label for your disc. The disc label can be up to 16 characters long.

•Burn to disc: ensure this option is selected if you want your production burned to a disc.

•Number of copies: in the field provided, enter the number of discs you want CyberLink PowerDirector to burn for you in succession.

•Save as disc image: select this option if you want to create a disc image file on your computer's hard drive. Disc images can be burned to disc at a later time if required. Click on to specify the folder where it is created.

CyberLink PowerDirector can generate an x.v.Color-compliant stream, which is backward compatible with RGB displays, while offering the opportunity to achieve better visual quality if your playback environment is x.v.Color ready.

•Enable hardware video encoder: enable this option to speed up rendering and burning time. This option is only enabled if your computer supports hardware acceleration.
