Choosing file formats for various discs
When exporting a file from the Export Settings dialog box for use in DVD or Blu-ray disc creation, select the format
appropriate for the target medium. For single-layer or dual-layer DVD, select MPEG2-DVD. For single-layer or dual-
layer Blu-ray disc, select either MPEG2 Blu-ray or H.264 Blu-ray.
Select the preset for a given format in accordance with the available space on the target medium and the needs of the
target audience.
Create a DVD, Blu-ray disc, or SWF file in Encore

Exporting files for CD-ROM playback
If you want to play back your video and audio files on a CD-ROM drive (rather than a DVD or Blu-ray player), encode
the file in a format playable on computers. You create the encoded file on your hard drive, and then burn it to
recordable CD media (known collectively as CD+/-R/RW). Use third-party CD-burning software and a CD burner.
