Instructions
|
| 1. |
If you haven't already done so, download and install the AVI Quicktime component.
- To download the AVI component, go to our Digital Video Resource Page
- To install the component, double-click the installer and follow the instructions

| 2. |
Create a new project folder or open an existing one.
From the Project Folder Dialog, select “Create Project”.
Name the new project folder. The project will be configured using the default settings. (To change the default settings, use the Preferences panel.)
Storing your movie and it's settings in a project folder makes it easy to save your information so you can pick up where you left off, instead of having to finish your project in one sitting, which is often difficult to do at first. It also makes it easy to create more copies once you have perfected your project.

MPEG -1 (VCD profile):

MPEG -2 (DVD profile):
- Change "Media Type" to "DVD"
Generic MPEG -1:
- Change "Media Type" to "Video CD"
Generic MPEG -2 :
- Change "Media Type" to "Super Video CD"

Click the “Convert to MPEG” button.
Because converting to MPEG takes a long time, (at least four times as long as the movie length and even longer on slower machines), we suggest you run this job overnight.

| 6. |
Once thethe “Convert to MPEG” process has completed successfully, the “Convert to MPEG” dialog will disappear.
