Layers pop-up menu: Choose the type of disc you’re making:
•
Automatic: Tells Compressor to automatically detect the type of disc you insert. For this
setting to work, you must insert the disc before clicking Burn. Additionally, Automatic always
creates a single-layer disk image when Hard Drive is selected as the output device.
•
Single-layer: Tells Compressor to identify the disc as a single-layer disc. You can use this
setting to force a dual-layer disc to be treated as a single-layer disc.
•
Dual-layer: Tells Compressor to identify the disc as a dual-layer disc. You can use this setting
to force the disk image to be formatted for a dual-layer disc when you choose Hard Drive as
your output device. Choosing Dual-layer when using a single-layer disc may result in an error
while burning the disc, depending on the project’s length.

Use Chapter Marker Text as Subtitles checkbox: Select this checkbox to have marker text appear

•
Main Menu and Chapter Menu buttons: Click the Main Menu and Chapter Menu buttons to

Create Blu-ray Disc
Use this form to enter information and settings for the Blu-ray disc you want to burn.
Additionally, you can burn an AVCHD disc based on settings in this form.
An AVCHD disc can be thought of as a simpler high-definition (HD) disc that is burned to red
laser media. The resulting disc plays in Blu-ray Disc players that are compatible with the AVCHD
format. This means you can burn a disc that contains HD video content and some basic menu
features using a standard DVD burner, and play that disc in compatible Blu-ray Disc players. For
information about creating H.264 streams suitable for Blu-ray discs and AVCHD discs, see
on page 70.
Important:
You cannot play any disc containing Blu-ray content on a Mac computer.
