How to burn your project to CD, DVD or Blu-ray


Note: This section only applies to optical output types, e.g. DVD-Video (for DVD burning) , Blu-ray (for Blu-ray burning) and SVCD,VCD (for CD burning)

Once you have created your masterpiece in the editor and wish to burn your slideshow to a disk, select the ‘Create and Burn to diskicon located at the top of the main editor window. This will then bring up the 'Author video wizard' window.

  • 'Create and burn my slideshow' (default option). This option will create your slideshow into the appropriate DVD-Video, Blu-ray or CD ISO image on your hard-drive and then burn this image to a blank optical disk.

    The DVD-Video, Blu-ray or CD ISO image will be created in Documents/PhotoVidShow/Authored. PhotoVidShow will leave this disk image on the hard-drive after burning in-case you wish to burn it again at a later time. DVD, Blu-ray or CD images can not be edited further in the PhtotoVidShow editor, only re-burnt. It is possible, however, to re-load your project file into the PhotoVidShow editor, do edits and then create another image.

  • 'Create my slideshow to test or burn later'. This is the same as the above option except it skips the burn part. This option can be useful if you wish to test your DVD-Video, Blu-ray or CD image before burning it. Applications like VLC media player and PowerDVD are able to playback DVD and Blu-ray images (video folder) stored on your PC hard-drive.

  • 'Burn a previously created slideshow'. This option allows you to burn a previously created slideshow. This is done by using the DVD-Video and Blu-ray burner tool. This then

  • 'Burn from a video folder'. This option is similar to the above except it burns it directly in the PhotoVidShow editor. Also the option can be useful because it can burn any DVD-Video, Blu-ray or CD ISO image. e.g. If you used another application to rip a DVD onto your hard-drive, you could use PhotoVidShow to then re-burn it.

Note: If burning from a video folder from the hard-drive, PhotoVidShow will require the folder which contains the VIDEO_TS folder for a DVD-Video, the folder which contains the BDMV folder for Blu-ray or the folder which contains the BIN/CUE files for a SVCD/VCD video.
