The menu compositor will accept images that are smaller or larger than the sizes referenced
above. If you are creating a 1080i/p Blu-ray project, you may want to use a 1920x1080
menu background and appropriately sized buttons to ensure the highest quality menu
output. Note that if you then choose to output a DVD from the same project, DVDit Pro HD
will automatically scale the background and buttons to fit DVD standard specifications.
- Location: Either accept the default location or click Browse and choose a new
location to save the project file. It is recommended that you store project and asset
files in folders at the root level of the hard drive. For example:
C:\DVD Projects (for project files)
C:\DVD Video (for video and audio assets)
C:\DVD Images (for image assets)
C:\DVD Builds (for writing DVD Volumes and disc images)
This makes it easier to manage projects and asset files.

Preventing the sample files from loading
DVDit Pro HD comes with sample backgrounds, buttons, and menu templates for you to
experiment with. By default, these sample files are loaded into every new project you create.
To prevent DVDit Pro HD from loading the sample files:
1. Choose File > Preferences. The Preferences dialog box opens.
2. On the General tab, deselect the Load Sample Media option.
3. Click OK.
The change takes effect the next time you launch DVDit Pro HD or create a new project.
