DVD Options

The DVD options are all based around creating and configuring DVD video.
You’re going to find settings for the TV standard you use in your country,
what kind of audio format you want to use, and more.

Note: If you don’t find that you have a specific reason to change any of
these values, they can all safely be left at their default values. Unless you
know that you need to change one of these, don’t change it.

DVD Type is the quality level and Mbps, or megabits per second, rating of
the video you create. This impacts the visual quality of the video you will
see.

Higher quality DVDs use more data for each moment in your video. This
means less video can be stored on the disc. Choosing a DVD type is all
about selecting the right balance between quality and the amount of video
you need to place on a disc.

The biggest factor here is a piece of technical information that you'll
probably never need to worry about, the Mbps play rate. This is the amount
of data that must be streamed from the disc to the DVD player. Not all
players can handle the full speed, mostly cheaper players that cut corners,
so you need to choose which one you want to use.

You have a series of options in this dropdown list, when you choose a type,
you'll see the more practical details about your selection in the DVD Type
Information area.

• DVD HQ (High Quality – Maximum) is the highest quality video
you can view on a DVD. It uses the full 9.716 Mbps standard for
the format. This selection may not work on DVD players that can’t
play the full DVD standard.
