Chapter 5: Creating Discs

Burn to Disc
After you have acquired your media, assembled your story, edited your
clips, added audio and visual effects, and customized the layout and
look of your disc, then it’s time to finalize your production.
CyberLink PowerDirector offers several methods to finalize your
production, which are useful under different circumstances. You can
burn your production to disc as the last step in your movie production
process, save your production as a disc image for later burning, or
create a DVD folder to organize your media files on your hard drive.
Depending on your burning drive and disc type, one or more of these
options may be available simultaneously.
CyberLink PowerDirector supports the following disc formats for
burning:
• DVD: DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW
• VCD/SVCD: CD-R, CD-RW
• Blu-ray Disc (Ultra and HE version only): BD-RE, BD-R
Note: See "Configure Create Disc Preferences" on page 107 for information
on selecting your disc type for burning.
Burn Your Movie to Disc
Burning your movie to disc is the final stage of the create disc process.
Once your disc is burned, you will be able to play it on a disc player to
share with your family and friends. Click on the Burn button to begin
the burning process.
Note: The burning process may take at least a few minutes, depending on
the length and quality of your video and your computer’s processing power.
Be prepared for a short wait while CyberLink PowerDirector renders your
movie!
