Burning The Dvd - Adobe ENCORE DVD Manual

48 LESSON 2
Creating Menus in Adobe Encore DVD
If the DVD project didn't behave as described above, return to the project and correct the
behavior. Preview the DVD again to ensure that it behaves as expected before continuing.
Adobe Encore DVD folder structure
As you create a project, Adobe Encore DVD stores the menus and assets you use in a project folder.
Within the project folder are two subfolders, named Cache and Sources. Adobe Encore DVD uses the
Cache folder as you work in the project; it stores your original menus and assets in the Sources folder.
Additionally, the preferences for your project are stored in a ProjectPrefs.xml file in the project folder.
If you need to move a DVD project to a different computer, make sure you move the entire project
folder and all its contents. Otherwise, Adobe Encore DVD will not be able to find the files it needs to
open the project.

Burning the DVD

You're ready to burn the DVD.
1 In the Project window, select the Disc tab.
The Disc tab lists the disc name, the space available on the disc, the media type, and other
information.
2 Choose the data size of the disc you'll be burning from the pop-up menu beneath the
disc name.
Notice that both the amount of disc space used by the project and the resulting available
disc space are listed beneath the data size of the disc. Additionally, Adobe Encore DVD
shows the amount of space used for content, as opposed to disk formatting.
3 Click Check Links, and then select the link problems you want to search for. Click OK
to begin the search. Click Done after you've examined the results.
If there are link problems that will cause the DVD to play incorrectly, return to the project
and fix them before burning the disc.
Adobe Encore DVD can identify broken links, unset links, and timelines or menus to
which there is no navigational link. For more information about checking links, see
"Finding missing links and unassigned assets" in Adobe Encore DVD Help.
4 Click Build Project. Click Save and Continue if you are prompted to save the file.
