Magix Video Editing Course Output Your Video to VCD/SVCD/DVD You have arranged your clips, cut them, added transitions and titles. You have previewed your video. You are satisfied with it. The final step would be to burn your edited video to disc. Magix provides you with an easy method of doing this. You don't have to render the video into MPEG1 or 2 and then bring the file to a disc authoring program like Nero. Everything is done in-house by Magix and before you know it, your disc is burned and is ready to be shared with your friends and relatives. Getting Started Before you begin, make sure you have saved your project and made a backup of it in a different drive and directory. If not do it now. Go to File - Save As or press Shift S. Give the file a different name. This will be protection for you in case anything goes wrong with your original project file.
You start by clicking on the Make CD/DVD (see mouse pointer above) tab just above the monitor window. You'll be presented with this dialog box.
For a start, you could just choose Ignore or if you do want chapter markers, choose Automatic markers.
For a start you can choose no menu from the movie and chapter menus You can experiment with the menu options after you have familiarized yourself with burning discs with Magix. On the right hand panel, click the Burn Disc tab
This dialog box will pop up. Give your disc project a name.
Click OK You're now ready to burn your disc.
In my case I would want to choose Video CD as my disc format. When I choose that, I'll be presented with another option box.
VCD or SVCD It asks whether I want a better resolution with SVCD. If you video is short, say 30-40 minutes, then you can choose yes. If you have an hour-length movie, then you could opt for VCD. Here I'm choosing VCD because most of my friends have VCD players. When I click No, I'm ready to proceed with disc burning. Before that, I would want to click on the Encoder tab on the disc format panel.
Here I can choose the quality I want. I opt for the highest quality Of course this will take a longer encoding time. Click OK
I'll click on the red button of the third panel which is the Burn CD button.
The encoding process starts. The speed and the duration depend on your system resources. It's advisable not to run other programs in the background during the burning process. At the end of the encoding process, I'm presented with this message box because I have inserted a CD-RW in my disc drive.
I click yes and the deleting and the writing starts. It's always a good idea to test your video with a CD_RW or DVD-RW if your player could support these formats. If everything goes well, then you'll just have to make copies of the disc and distribute.
Viola! you have burnt your first disc. You can now try playing it with your VCD/DVD player. Congratulations!! You have completed the Magix Basic Video Editing Course.
