About the Final Steps of DVD Creation
Following is a list of the final steps in the DVD creation process:
• Testing your project with the Simulator: Using the Simulator allows you to verify most
of your connections and button navigation before building the title.
• Setting prebuild disc properties: This is the time to set any last-minute disc properties,
especially those that must be set before you build the title.
• Building your project: This process creates a VIDEO_TS (video zone for SD projects) or
HVDVD_TS (for HD projects) folder and compiles your project’s elements into a
DVD-compliant file structure.
