• The button “Audio mode” is used to specify
the audio quality: “uncompressed” or
compressed”.
Compressed audio requires only a fraction of
the capacity, but at the cost of slightly reduced
quality. When creating a music video, it is
recommended that you use uncompressed
audio.
Note for the technically interested:
Uncompressed audio uses PCM audio with 16
bits and 48 kHz. Compressed audio uses MPEG
audio.
• You are also shown the “Size approximation
for this project. The calculation takes account
of the quality level (discussed above) and the
duration of the project. The value displayed is
only an approximation; the actual amount of
required memory, once created, may be slightly
more or less than this amount.
If not enough memory is present, then you must
either reduce image/audio quality or remove
other projects.
A message appears before a lm is added if this
would cause the project to become too large to
t on the DVD. In some cases the project could
still t on the DVD, because the calculated value
is only an approximation.
• The displayed “free capacity” indicates how
much space is still free on the DVD.
• You can divide your project into chapters by
clicking on the button “Edit Chapters”. These
chapters can be individually selected later when
playing the DVD (with the remote control unit,
not with the DVD menu). This is a signicant
help, especially with large projects.
Selecting the function “Edit Chapters” opens
a window in which the individual storyboard
scenes are displayed. The scenes are displayed,
for example, as follows:
Chapter 1 000.05:00 S1
A chapter must always begin at the start of a
scene, so scroll through the scenes displayed in
this window and decide where you would like to
set the beginning of a chapter. Select the line of
the desired scene and click on the corresponding
button “Start Chapter”.
The subsequent Chapters are numbered
automatically by the system to reect your
set chapters. (Clicking on the button “Undo
Chapter” removes the chapter point.)
After having set the chapter, leave this menu
by clicking on “Ok” so that you are again in
the “Add Film” window. Click on “Ok”, so that
your settings are automatically calculated and
the lms are added to the “DVD-Arabesk 2
program. This can take some time, depending
on the size of the project
Note: For very detailed video material the lm
might not t on the DVD, even though the
approximation seemed to predict enough space.
If this should happen, it will be at the end of the
calculation. In this case try again with a lower
quality level or with compressed audio.
After the project has been inserted, you can
call up the “Add Film” window again in order
to select another project, which is then also
automatically added. Please note that only a
maximum of six lms can be added to one DVD.
Note: You can of course remove an already
added lm if you wish. You can also change the
lm sequence. For more on this, please read 3.2
Information / Play, item (4).
