• DVD HQ (High Quality – Safe) is the default that ProShow uses,
and plays at 8 Mbps. This won’t look dramatically different from
the Maximum option, but is likely to work on all DVD players.

• DVD SP (Standard Play) is the low end for the format. This plays at
5.073 Mbps, and should work on all players. A benefit of the lower
quality is that you can get longer shows on the disc.

• DVD LP (Long Play) is another lower quality option that gives you
much more time for a show. You can get up to 3 hours of a show
on the disc.
• DVD EP (Extended Play) continues the lower quality for longer
show trend. This format will let you get 4 hours of show on one
disc.

• DVD SLP (Super Long Play) sacrifices video quality to allow you to
put shows of up to 6 hours on the disc.

• DVD SEP (Super Extended Play) is the lowest quality video you
can make, but gives you a massive 8 hours of show time to include
on the disc.
Each of these types you choose has some give and take. The high quality
selections can only fit about an hour on the disc, but look great. As you
decrease in quality, you can put more video on the disc. Remember that
unless you need to choose another option, it’s best to use the DVD HQ
(High Quality – Safe) option to ensure the disc looks great and works on
most all DVD players.

TV System sets the resolution of your DVD video. This resolution is
different based on where you are in the world. In the US, we use the NTSC
standard, which is the default.

If you plan to send your DVD to a viewer elsewhere in the world, you should
change this value to PAL. A quick search online for ‘television standards by
country’ can point you towards several great sources for determining the
video standard for any particular country.
Audio Type determines how the audio stream is added into the video that
ProShow creates. The DVD format supports different types of audio.
ProShow lets you choose between two formats because not all players will
