Burn Video DVD

Important!

Your computer must be equipped with a DVD burner to use this feature.

Overview

Blaze Media Pro includes a video DVD burning feature that is both powerful and easy to use. It copies, or burns, AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 (DVD compliant and non-DVD compliant), and WMV files to DVD-R and DVD+R discs. Blaze Media Pro automatically converts the video to the proper format in the same process. MPEG-2 DVD-compliant can burn without encoding.

The DVD burning feature is very fast and easy to use, and it is flexible enough to burn full movies, as well as small clips. In addition, you can compile multiple movie files into chapters to compose the DVD. After laying out the DVD structure, configure the DVD burning process using other options on the dialog box.
