Burning Options

The Burning tab is where you configure all of the options for how your
show is going to be burned on to the disc you have chosen. These options
let you choose which burner you’re going to use, what speed you’re going
to use for the burn, and more.

DVD Burning
DVD burning is heavily focused on compatibility to help you make a DVD
that is going to work without fuss.
DVD Writer lets you choose which DVD burner you are going to use to
create the disc. Most PCs only have one burner, which will be listed here
along with the drive letter. If you have more than one burner, you will see
those other options appear in the dropdown list.

You can also select the ISO Image File option from this list. An ISO is like a
snapshot of a finished DVD. It has all of the information contained in a
single .ISO file that is stored on your system. This file can be opened with
almost any DVD burning software on the market and burned quickly to disc.
An ISO file is a great alternative if you intend to make lots of copies of your
disc.

Speed is where you choose the burning speed and type of disc you are
going to create. There are a few things to note about this.

Burning speed only lists “Max” until you insert a blank DVD in the drive.
Once a disc has been inserted, ProShow can tell what burning speed
11
options are available.
Disc Type allows you to choose what kind of disc you’re going to make. If
you’re burning to a CD, you can choose the “MiniDVD” option, which
creates DVD video on older CD media. Keep in mind that a “MiniDVD” may
not work on all DVD players or PCs.

11 To ensure the highest disc quality possible, it’s always a good idea to burn on the
lowest speed setting.
