Writing Volumes
A DVD or Blu-ray Volume contains the same files that go on a disc, but they are written to a
folder on your hard drive instead of to a recordable disc.
It’s a good idea to create a Volume before you burn a disc; if there are any problems with the
project, you can catch them without wasting discs. Some software DVD/BD players
(including Sonic CinePlayer) can play DVD and Blu-ray Volumes, giving you another way
to test playback. You can burn discs from DVD and Blu-ray Volumes in DVDit Pro HD.
You can also write DLTs from DVD Volumes in DVDit Pro HD. Sonic’s RecordNow can
also burn discs from DVD Volumes.
To write a Volume:
1. Chose File > Save to save the project.
2. Choose Burn > Write Volume. The Write Volume dialog box opens.
3. Set the Volume Type pop-up menu to one of the following options:
-
DVD:
Outputs a single- or dual-layer DVD-Video project to the volume.
-
Blu-ray:
Outputs a single-layer Blu-ray project to the volume.
4. If you are working with a dual-layer project that won’t fit on a single-layer disc, set the
Layer pop-up menu to Dual (other wise leave it set to Single).
5. Click Browse. In the Browse For Folder dialog box, select the folder where the volume
will be written and click OK.
6. Click OK write the volume to the destination folder.
