Transcoding an AVI file from the Project window
Transcoding is the process by which Adobe Encore DVD converts non-DVD-compliant
video and audio asset files (such as AVI files) to the DVD-compliant files that will be
burned to disc. (Files such as MPEG-2 files are already DVD-compliant and do not
require transcoding.)You can transcode a file at any point during the project; if you have
not already transcoded a non-DVD-compliant file, Adobe Encore DVD automatically
transcodes it when you burn the disc. You can transcode assets directly from the Project
window. Upon transcoding a file, Adobe Encore DVD updates the project link so that it
points to the transcoded file. So, unless you delete the original file, you can also revert
transcoded assets to their original version.
1 In the Project window, right-click Cardiac_background.avi and choose Transcode
Settings > NTSC DV 4x3 High Quality 4Mb VBR 2 Pass.
Now that you have selected the transcoding setting, you can transcode the AVI file into an
MPEG-2 file.
2 Right-click the Cardiac_background.avi file, and choose Transcode Now.
