− | <h1>DVD Flick Guide</h1>
| |
− | <p>This short guide describes how to do a few common tasks in DVD Flick.
| |
− | The last update to this guide was based on version 1.3.0.0 of DVD Flick.</p>

| |
− | <h2>Creating a simple DVD</h2>
| |
− |
| |
− | <h3>Step 1: Add your titles</h3>
| |
− | <p>Click the <i>Add title</i> button and select one or more of the video
| |
− | files that you want to add.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p><img src="images/edittitle.png" alt="Title properties window" /></p>
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− | <h3>Step 2: Edit your titles</h3>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>You can edit each title by double-clicking it or by clicking on it once
| |
− | and pressing the <i>Edit title</i> button. Here you can set the number of
| |
− | chapters the title will have, either by entering a number or a time interval.
| |
− | You can also add subtitle files, different audio tracks and add another
| |
− | video source to the title.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− | <h3>Step 3: Configure your project</h3>
| |
− | <p>Click the <i>Project settings</i> button on the top to open the project's
| |
− | settings.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p><img src="images/projectsettings.png" alt="Project settings window" /></p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>The only thing you really need to set here is the <i>Target size</i> under
| |
− | the <i>General</i> tab, and the <i>Target format</i>, and <i>Encoding profile</i>
| |
− | under the <i>Video</i> tab.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>For Target Size, choose the size of the disc you will be burning your
| |
− | project onto. Usually the default setting of DVD-5 (4.3 Gb) will be fine,
| |
− | but if you wanted to use a dual layer disc or any other common format,
| |
− | you can select that as well.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>For Target Format, you must choose which format is used on the standalone
| |
− | DVD Player you will be watching the DVD on. For most Europe, Asian, African
| |
− | and Oceanic countries this should be set to PAL, for most American countries
| |
− | to NTSC. Some DVD Players support both formats, in which case you should
| |
− | select the Mixed format. When using the Mixed format each separate title will
| |
− | be determined to be either PAL or NTSC, and encoded as such.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>For Encoding Profile, you must make a trade-off between the time it will
| |
− | take to encode the DVD, or the quality thereof. Generally <i>Fast</i> offers
| |
− | reasonable image quality, the difference between Normal and Best is almost
| |
− | unnoticeable. Though if you are going to make a DVD that is near or over 3
| |
− | hours in length, it is not recommended to choose Fast but Normal or Best instead
| |
− | or the image quality will suffer.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− | <h3>Step 4: Choose a destination folder</h3>
| |
− | <p>At the bottom of the screen you can choose where DVD Flick will put
| |
− | the encoded DVD files, as well as log files of the encoding process. It is
| |
− | important to put this folder on a fast harddrive, which has enough free space
| |
− | available. How much free space is needed is indicated on the lower right of
| |
− | DVD Flick's main window. Do <i>not</i> set this to your DVD drive's path,
| |
− | DVD Flick will first need to store the encoded data on a harddrive before it
| |
− | can burn it to a disc.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− | <h3>Step 5: Burning</h3>
| |
− | <p>DVD Flick can burn your encoded project straight to disc if it is completed
| |
− | successfully.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p><img src="images/burning.png" alt="Burning settings window" /></p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>To enable this, check the <i>Burn project to disc</i> option under Project Settings,
| |
− | and the Burning tab.<i>Disc label</i> can be set to the label of the disc as displayed
| |
− | by your computer, but is not used by DVD players. Be sure to select the right drive to
| |
− | burn to, and to insert an empty disc in it before starting the encoding.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>If you would rather have just an ISO image of the DVD to burn at your own leisure,
| |
− | only check the <i>Create ISO image</i> option, and enter a disc label.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− | <h3>Step 6: Encoding</h3>
| |
− | <p>When you are all done creating your project, be sure to save it first. Then
| |
− | press the Create DVD button and the encoding process will start,
| |
− | providing you have enough free disc space. How long the encoding takes is
| |
− | very much dependant on the speed of your CPU, and the harddrive that the project's
| |
− | destination folder is on. It's best to let your PC do this during the night, or
| |
− | during a very long coffee break.</p>

| |
− | <h2>Add subtitles</h2>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>To add subtitles to a title, all you have to do is edit the title,
| |
− | go to the <i>Subtitles</i> tab, and use the <i>Add</i> button to
| |
− | add subtitle files to the title. You can reorder them using the arrow
| |
− | buttons.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p><img src="images/subtitle.png" alt="Subtitle properties window" /></p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>To edit the language, font, font size and positioning of a subtitle
| |
− | select it and press the <i>Edit</i> button. In the window that pops up
| |
− | you can change various properties of the subtitle. When you click the
| |
− | small preview you will see a larger approximation of how the subtitle
| |
− | will look.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>The language setting is simply the language of the subtitle in
| |
− | question. The <i>character set</i> option is used to indicate in what
| |
− | way the subtitle file is encoded, so that the right characters can be
| |
− | drawn. For example if you have added a Chinese subtitle, you might have
| |
− | to set the character set to Chinese BIG5 or GB2312.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>The Auto-fit button will adjust the subtitle's font size so that all
| |
− | subtitle lines will fit on screen. The display by default button will
| |
− | make sure that the current subtitle will be displayed automatically
| |
− | when the title containing it is played. If other subtitles have this set,
| |
− | only the first subtitle in the list will be displayed when the title starts.</p>

| |
− | <a id="audiotracks"></a>
| |
− | <h2>Add audio tracks</h2>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>A good example for when you want to add another audio track would
| |
− | be to add a second commentary track or some music.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p><img src="images/audiotrack.png" alt="Audio track list" /></p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>After you have added the title, edit it and go to the
| |
− | <i>Audio tracks</i> tab. There you can press the <i>Add</i> button,
| |
− | and then select the audio file or another video file that you will
| |
− | choose an audio track from. If you chose a video file or the file you
| |
− | chose has more than one audio track, you will be asked to choose which
| |
− | track to add.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− | <a id="menu"></a>
| |
− | <h2>Add a menu</h2>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>If you have many titles in your DVD Flick project, you might want to consider
| |
− | adding a menu to your DVD so that you can select a title to play from a list
| |
− | with names and thumbnails.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p><img src="images/menusettings.png" alt="Menu settings window" /></p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>To add a menu, go to the <i>Menu settings</i> button. Here you can choose
| |
− | a template which will determine the appearance of the menu, as well as see
| |
− | it in action by clicking the <i>Preview</i> button. To exit the menu preview,
| |
− | either press ESC or right-click on the preview window. After you've chosen a
| |
− | template, be sure to enable the <i>Enable menu</i> checkbox so that the menu
| |
− | will be included on your disc.</p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>You can also view menu pages that allow you to select a audio track or
| |
− | subtitle from the currently playing title. To access this menu while a title
| |
− | is playing, most DVD players have a Audio or Subtitle button on their remotes.</p>
