Changing the HD Transcoding settings
DVDit Pro HD’s built-in transcoder lets you use “non-compliant” video and audio in your
Blu-ray projects. When outputting the project to a Blu-ray disc, Blu-ray Volume, or disc
image, non-compliant files are transcoded with the values specified on the HD Transcoding
tab in the Project Settings dialog box.
The HD Transcoding settings also determine how motion menus and slideshows will be
transcoded for high-definition output.
You can also force DVDit Pro HD to re-encode Blu-ray-compliant files. You might want to
do this if the project contains Blu-ray-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 HD Transcoding settings:
1. Choose File > Project Settings. The Project Settings dialog box opens.
2. Click the HD Transcoding tab.
