• Select disc type lets you specify the type of disc format you want to record your
video clips to. When selecting DVD, be sure to select the size of your DVD from the
drop-down menu to the right.
Tip: Use the same option you selected for the format prior to recording in the
Capture screen.
• Select region type specifies the video standard you want your disc burned in, NTSC
or PAL. *You will want to choose the standard based on your geographical region.
NTSC is the common video standard for North America. PAL is typically used in
Europe and British Commonwealths.
Encoding Settings
• Select encode type specifies your encoding settings. Unless you prefer to make
advanced encoding settings, Manhattan recommends choosing "Fit to Disc" or
"Preset. " Otherwise, select "Custom" and adjust the remaining encoding selections
based on your needs.
Menu Settings
• Create Menu creates a main-disc menu made for your disc. The disc menu is made
from the different video clips you add to the disc, and it displays them as image
thumbnails with a background image of your choice. The disc menu will appear
when playing your disc, allowing you to play specific clips based on the selection of
videos you added to the disc.
• Chapter Menu includes a chapter menu for your clips. The chapter menu will allow
you to select from individual chapters made for each clip.
• Set duration of background music adjusts the length of playback for background
music you add to the main disc menu. The music you select will play for the number
of seconds you choose before looping again.
• Menu screen format provides options to change the aspect ratio for your menu: 4:3
(option for standard) and 16:9 (widescreen video). *Normally, you will want to select
the same setting you chose for your video perspective prior to capturing in the
Capture screen.*
Step Three — Add Clips
Drag the video clips you want to burn from the Clip Panel and drop them in the Disc
Menu Screen. A sample disc menu will appear after adding a clip, providing a preview to
your disc menu.
* Make sure the clips you add do not exceed the available disc space listed in the top
right corner of the Burning Status Display.
** To remove a clip from the Disc Menu Screen, click on the clip to highlight it, then right
click and select delete from the pop-up menu.
Tip: To turn off the disc menu, click the Settings button at the bottom of the Burn
screen and uncheck the "Create Menu" option.
