Important:
An alert appears when you select Seamless. Do not select Seamless unless
your project specifically requires it. See
Choosing Seamless or Non-Seamless Layer
for more information.
• Number of sides: Choose whether this is a one- or two-sided disc.
Note: A two-sided disc requires two separate projects—one for each side.
• Disc Side: Choose Side A or Side B for this project. This is for the replication facility.
• Disc Size: Choose either the standard 12 cm or the smaller 8 cm disc size.
• Maximum Size: Based on the above settings, shows the maximum amount of disc space
available.
Region/Copyright Tab in the Disc Inspector
The only setting in the Region/Copyright tab that you must set before building a project
is the Macrovision setting.
• Playable Region Codes: Select the checkbox next to the regions in which you want to
be able to play the disc (all are enabled by default). All DVD players (standalone and
computer) must be assigned a region code. This code divides the world into six regions,
with an additional region for discs played on airplanes. These region codes allow you
to have some control over where a disc can be played.
So that you can easily emulate on any DVD player the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder
created by the build process, the folder defaults to having all regions enabled (except
“7-Reserved”). Region code settings are applied during the formatting process.
Important:
If you change the region code settings and burn a DVD using general media,
some DVD players that should be prevented from playing it will play the disc. This issue
does not occur with replicated discs originating from either general or authoring media.
Additionally, you must have at least one playable region selected.
