Note that the Direct-to-Disc Wizards do not include the editing features that are available from the standard interface. You can edit a project created with a wizard before burning it to a disc as described in: • "Editing the style of a video project" on page 71. • "Editing movie files" on page 71. Video Quality and Disc Size Sonic MyDVD includes four DVD video quality (bit-rate) settings, and a Fit-to-DVD option that can be applied to a video project or to individual movie files. The DVD quality settings are: • HQ (High Quality) - Best audio and video quality available, but requires the most disc space per second of video. Good choice for video files that contain high-speed action (for example, motor sports). High Quality is the default setting for new projects. • SP (Standard Play) - Good audio and video quality with most video sources. • LP (Long Play) - Fits approximately twice as much video onto a DVD as HQ. Not recommended when the original video is low-quality or noisy. • EP (Extended Play) - Fits the most video onto a DVD, but video quality is low. Not recommended unless the original video is very good quality. • Fit-to-DVD - (Available only with upgrade to MyDVD Deluxe) As you add more content to the project, MyDVD reduces the project quality automatically to fit the selected disc size. NOTE: VCDs have a fixed bit rate that delivers one quality level. You can fit approximately 1 hour of video on a VCD (the recording time is reduced if you use animated menu buttons or backgrounds). NOTE: You can record the same file on a disc at each different quality level to compare the results. 74 Getting Started Guide

Video Quality and Disc Size
Sonic MyDVD includes four DVD video quality (bit-rate) settings, and a Fit-to-DVD
option that can be applied to a video project or to individual movie files. The DVD
quality settings are:
•
HQ (High Quality) —
Best audio and video quality available, but requires
the most disc space per second of video. Good choice for video files that
contain high-speed action (for example, motor sports). High Quality is the
default setting for new projects.
•
SP (Standard Play) —
Good audio and video quality with most video
sources.
•
LP (Long Play) —
Fits approximately twice as much video onto a DVD as
HQ. Not recommended when the original video is low-quality or noisy.
•
EP (Extended Play) —
Fits the most video onto a DVD, but video quality is
low. Not recommended unless the original video is very good quality.
•
Fit-to-DVD —
(Available only with upgrade to MyDVD Deluxe) As you add
more content to the project, MyDVD reduces the project quality automatically to
fit the selected disc size.
NOTE:
VCDs have a fixed bit rate that delivers one quality level. You can fit
approximately 1 hour of video on a VCD (the recording time is reduced if you use
animated menu buttons or backgrounds).
NOTE:
You can record the same file on a disc at each different quality level to
compare the results.
