Create DVD menus, video and audio material are usually ready for the future. That is, DV works in the collection, editing (you can use the VEGAS editor, you can also use other non-linear editing software) after the output up into MPEG2 format. And DVD authoring software and then these have been treated for processing audio and video files.
This is a common practice. In fact, Sonic Foundry DVD Architect supports audio and video files into many formats. Do not adhere to the traditional DVD format MPEG2 such authentic. Sonic Foundry DVD Architect can import the video and audio file formats: WMV, ASF, MOV, MPG (MPEG, M2P, MP2), DAT, AVI, WAV, AC3, MP3 and so on. Can be directly imported into design software for DVD compression. As the last generation of non-DVD files, need to convert MPEG2 format file, so time-consuming conversion process is very long. And VEGAS rendering non-code output after almost time for the appropriate format.
Therefore, in order to save time, or for DVD production is usually ready to meet before DVD format video and audio material.
Talk about the DVD format as simple as the preparation of MPEG2 files
First of all, edited by VEGAS rendering the material as MPEG2 format. The following is the operator in VEGAS!
Completed the first of the editing of video and audio material generated rendering. Select the menu option on the map.
Appears when saving settings options. First of all, choose to save files. Remember that directory where the disk space must be large enough to be mounted under the rendering of the outcome document. 1G to 4G are usually retained in between. In short make sure you save disk space before saving enough to render results.
And then select the Save as type. Is shown in the figure above labeled 1. MAIN CONCEPT MPEG2 to select the Save as type.
And then select the compressed template is indicated diagram two drop-down menu. Usually, many people forget this step operation, rendering the results come out is not ideal fit. Then the mind to clear rendering of the standard is what? China often choose PAL format and require the choice of playing in the United States and Japan NTSC standard. DV shooting some special effects not only to select the format, have to choose whether to 24P mode video stream. Then see the drop-down menu on the map by a red box of these formats. These formats are DVD ARCHITECT at the beginning of the template. We want to create DVD in DVD ARCHITECT should begin with these DVD ARCHITECT select the template. Selected in accordance with the above-mentioned principles to. China's usually selected DVD ARCHITECT PAL VIDEO, USA and Japan often choose DVD ARCHITECT NTSC VIDEO STREAM. Other DVD ARCHITECT at the beginning of the template is rather special, if you need to select these special templates, you must have known that the special features of these templates. So this is not to say more.
There is also a universal DVD output format, the red line in the figure above, there are two formats: DVD NTSC VIDEO STREAM and DVD PAL SEPARATE STREAMS. In accordance with these two template output of DVD format MPEG2 files can be used other DVD production of documents. Such as DVD LAB, REEL DVD, DVD IT and so on. Of course, DVD ARCHITECT can use, but can not guarantee when the final output DVD without additional conversion.
When the author rendering usually through this simple three steps: select the directory, select the format, select the template. Then direct rendering. For CUSTOM button next to the character set, usually do not change. It was devoted to the CUSTOM file size under different settings and quality differences. It is also a science, not this be discussed.
VEGAS above are for the discussion of the output DVD file format. Looking back now, DVD ARCHITECT software.
Run DVD ARCHITECT if no previous DVD editing, it should come out blank DVD editing interface. Or they may automatically open the last of the editing project. Blank DVD editing program interface is as follows:
