How To Author Dvd?

This guide gives you a quick illustration of the common workflow using Womble EasyDVD to author a DVD disc with 2 video

Step 1. Start a new DVD project

Click the "New" button to start a new DVD project, and this will bring you to the Source window.

Step 2. Import Sources

This Source window is where you manage all your video contents. You start by clicking on the Add Movie button or on the Add Video button to add video files to your DVD project.

Step 3. Add Chapters

The quickest way to add chapters is to use the function of add equal length chapters by pressing the Add equal length chapters button or pressing 'N' on the keyboard. In the add chapter window, you may select a different number of chapters or simply accept the default (or the previously selected) value, and press OK.

The newly added chapters are displayed as yellow-colored marks along the top edge of the video player's timeline slider.

You can also add chapters manually by using the Add chapter button or pressing 'M' on the keyboard.

Step 4. Add Menu Pages

Click the "Menu" button on the navigation bar to select the Menu window.

The quickest way to add a DVD menu is to use the menu templates by double-clicking on a selected icon in the template list. We now have created two menu pages with eight chapters for one movie title.

You could add more to your menu with background image, background music, and motion video buttons.

Step 5. Preview

Click the "Preview" button of the navigation bar to proceed to the Preview window.

The Preview lets you do a final check on the menu design before outputting a DVD folder. If you don't like what you see, you can go back to the menu window to make changes, and then come back to check it again.

Step 6. Output

Click the "Output" button of the navigation bar to proceed to the Output window.

Depending on the total DVD size and the amount of video re-encoding, an export job may take from a few minutes to several hours. At the end of the export job, a VIDEO_TS file folder is created which contains the complete DVD movie and the menu.

Step 7. Burn

Insert a DVD disc into the DVD writer, and press the Burn button to start the burning job.

You can also burn the VIDEO_TS folder created by EasyDVD to a DVD disc by using your favorite DVD burning software coming with your DVD-R/W hardware.
