o iPod and PSP compatible (MPEG-4)
o AVI, Windows Media, and MPEG

Burning the Movie to DVD

• Warning: This will only work if there is a DVD burner attached to the computer being used.
• Note: The burning process will be faster if the movie has completely finished rendering. This means that
you should not see any green sections in the time ruler. If there are still green sections, consider waiting
until the program completes the rendering process.
• Save the project by clicking on File Save Project.
• Click on the Make Movie tab near the top of the screen.

Area.

• The Player will display the movie in a choppy way as the burning progresses.
o Note: Burning the DVD will take more or less time depending on the length of the movie, the
type of media being used in the movie, and the burn speed of the DVD being used. As a rule of
thumb, expect for the burning time to be about 1.5 to 2 times the length of the movie. So, a movie
that is 30 minutes in length will take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour to burn.
• When finished, the DVD should be ejected from the DVD burner.
