2. Open the “File” menu, select “Create” and “Video file”.
3. In the next window, enter a name for the file to be created and under “File type”, select
“MPEG files (*.mpg)”.
4. Click
“Options”.
5. Select the proper MPEG format under “Media type”. Be sure to set the video standard of
your project (PAL/NTSC) here as well.
6. The Video Editor will now create the specified file.
7. Next, click “File” once more, then “Export”, followed by “DVD plug-in”. You may have time
for a cup of coffee or two during the export of longer films.
8. Select the file you have just created. The DVD plug-in will automatically recognize the for-
mat (VCD/SVCD/DVD) and will walk you through the creation of your VCD, SVCD or DVD
step-by-step.
Enjoy!
