DVD-Player

For the DVD player your show must be converted into a video and then burned as a video DVD. This function is provided by the “Video Wizard”.

Video Wizard

With the “Video Wizard” you can quite easily burn your show onto a DVD and thus play it back on the DVD player. Under “Wizards” you can open the “Video Wizard”.

Select the “DVD” option. “VCD” or “SVCD”. Then click “Continue”.

In the settings dialog you can still set various options. The “TV border correction” is required if the television frame covers up the visible area at the edge.

The “Filming standard” is automatically set to PAL, the European filming standard. NTSC can also be set. The aspect ratio is automatically adjusted to the aspect ratio of your slide show. If you have created a 16:9 show, “PAL (16:9)” is automatically set. With a 4:3 slide show “PAL (4:3)” is selected.

Before the DVD can be burned, it must first be converted into a video. It must be saved to the hard disk prior to the burn process. You can decide the storage location and the name under “Video file”.

Then click “Continue” and “Create video”. You can access the “Burn video on CD/DVD” option in the “Video Wizard”.

Here you can burn a video file already created (mpg video), which you have saved on your hard disk, onto a CD/DVD.

Specify the relevant mpg file and what type of video is concerned.
