The OpenDVD setting
An OpenDVD disc contains the DVD-Video content plus extra information that lets
OpenDVD-compliant applications edit the disc just like a normal project. This feature
allows multiple authors to collaborate on a single disc.
You can also create OpenDVD-compliant DVD Volumes. See “Writing Volumes” on
page 152 for more information about DVD Volumes.
You can edit OpenDVD discs and volumes created by DVDit Pro HD and other Sonic
applications; see
“Editing an OpenDVD disc or DVD Volume” on page 154 for instructions
and limitations. Other Sonic applications may be able to edit OpenDVD discs created by
DVDit Pro HD.
The OpenDVD setting is turned off by default. To create an editable disc or volume, you
must turn this setting on.
To turn the OpenDVD setting on:
t
Select the OpenDVD option in the status bar at the bottom of the main window:
The OpenDVD option remains selected until you deselect it, or quit and relaunch DVDit Pro
HD, or open another project that does not have this setting selected.
Changing the project settings
DVDit Pro HD’s Project Settings dialog box displays basic information about the project,
such as the project file’s location, project size, and TV Standard. This dialog box lets you
change project-wide settings, including the bit rates used when transcoding non-compliant
video and audio, copy protection levels, and so on. It also lets you add data files (ROM
content) to the DVD.

• “Adding copy protection” on page 37
