Changing the SD Transcoding settings
DVDit Pro HD’s built-in transcoder lets you use “non-compliant” video and audio in your
DVD projects. When outputting the project to a DVD disc, DVD Volume, disc image, or
DLT, non-compliant files are transcoded with the values specified on the SD Transcoding
tab in the Project Settings dialog box.
You can also force DVDit Pro HD to re-encode DVD-compliant files. You might want to do
this if the project contains DVD-compliant files and is too large to fit on a disc; this option
lets you re-encode the files at lower bit rates so that they will fit. However, this is not
recommended, as re-encoding degrades video quality.
To view or change the SD Transcoding settings:
1. Choose File > Project Settings. The Project Settings dialog box opens.
2. Click the SD Transcoding tab.
