3. Browse your hard drives to select path to the folder, where the resulting DVD folders (AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS) will be saved. It is highly recommended to use NTFS file sytem in your OS, cause the temporary m2v files in most cases exceeds 4GB limit for FAT32 file system. Additionally, don't use non-english letters to the browsing path, cause the errors could occur during DVD authoring process. The "Project destination folder", as in our example, "D:\DVDFlick" will be fine

4. Add your title - select the video file or files for the project. DVD Flick supports these video file types: AVI, FLV, HDMOV, MKV, MJPG, MPG, M2V, MP4, M4V, NSV, NUT, QT, MOV, RM, SMK, OGM, WMV, ASF, 3GP, 3G2. Our example will describe the project with the one AVI file, including additional French audio track and subtitles. The language of the audio tracks and subtitles could be any, French is just for understanding how to work with DVD Flick capabilities to include additional audio tracks and subtitles. If you have video files from digital camcorders (DV, HDV, DVD) or captured via video card as interlaced to MJPEG, or HuffYUV, please use Cam Video Tool 4 DVD Flick

5. Title added. Left bar with 95% indicates how many bytes is used on the blank 4,3 GB DVD disc with the default preferences. The percentage depends on the video file size which you have added in the previous guide step.

6. Edit title. This step will help us to know what "Project settings" would be selected in the step 8, Frame rate. It means that "Project settings" depend on "Title properties". Now follow the next step.

7. General settings for the "Title". On this tab check "Create chapters every", selecting from 5 to 120 minutes between chapters. Purpose of the chapters usage is forward/back skipping forward during the DVD viewing. It is recommended to use this option. In our example a time value is 10 minutes. Instead of our case, you can use fixed numbers of chapters - check "Create" button. Aspect ratio is a autodetected value received from video file's frame dimension, just remember that is "Widescreen (16:9)" for our example.

8. Video sources for the "Title" - this tab informs us about video codec (mpeg4 for our example), frame size (576x236), Aspect ratio value (Widescreen (16:9)), frame rate (25 FPS) - Frames Per Second. Let's stay here a bit longer.

The frame size is: 576x236 pixels. Let us divide 576 to 236 = 576/236 = 2,44(:1). The file will bw encoded as "Widescreen (16:9)" with some top and bottom borders. Please return to the "General" tab to check the same "Widescreen (16:9)" in the "Aspect ratio" listbox.

Frame rate. In our example it is the 25 FPS - standard framerate for the PAL Format. Check the bottom listing: 23,976 FPS - NTSC Film Format 25 FPS - PAL Format 29,97 FPS - NTSC Format 30 FPS - NTSC Format Reccomendations for the non-standard 12,5 FPS - PAL Format 15 FPS - NTSC Format Warning! Remember the format for your file - it will be the same "Target format" in "Project settings" - step 12, Video tab for "Project settings".

9. Add a file to this title. This option allow to you to add new file or files to the "Title". It could be additional videos for this DVD, cutted scenes for examples, etc.

"Target bitrate" is more easy to use as "Auto fit". This option will calulate bitrate for encoding automatically, depends on DVD "Target size" and will be set as maximum possible value. If you have some advanced expirience with DVD ecoding, you can set "Custom bitrate".

Check "Second encoding pass" (red arrow) to improve output encoding results. It is highly recommended to use this option, but it will increse full encoding time. Check "Half horizontal resolution" (green arrow) to enable Half D1 DVD Mode - one of the standard for DVD, decreases frame size to 352x576 for PAL and to 352x480 for NTSC (instead of 720x576 (PAL) and 720x480 (NTSC)). Could be used as a possibility to decrease encoding bitrate, for more video length on one DVD disc. Check "Add overscan borders" (blue arrow) to make your DVD with black left and right borders to view all the source video on your TV. Deinterlace option is not reccomended to use, it is better to use encode your interlaced video files using Cam Video Tool 4 DVD Flick to support intrlaced mpeg-2 encoding. Check "Force MPEG-2 recompression" to recompress your mpeg-2 video source files, do not check option if m2v files were encoded with Cam Video Tool 4 DVD Flick.

Burning tab. If the "Create ISO image" is set (green arrow), the ISO image file will be created on your disk, in the "Project destination folder". ISO image could be useful, if you prefer to burn DVD using another application, supporting ISO images. "MDS" (Media decriptor) file will be created also. If you want to burn your DVD with DVD Flick, check "Burn project to disc" (red arrow). if you are using DVD+RW, DVD-RW disc, check "Automatically erase disc if it is rewritable". If quick erase will be not possible, ImgBurn (included in DVD Flick installation package) will make full erase for rewritable discs. Note: by default the ImgBurn has "AUTO (MAX)" speed for burning - in most cases it is not appropriate speed for DVD-R, DVD+R discs, stand-alone DVD players, and the lowest writing speeds are preferable. To change to the desired speed, launch "c:\Program Files\DVD Flick\imgburn\imgburn.exe", and set "Write speed" to "1x", "2x", etc (red arrow) on the "Device" tab (green arrow). Close "ImgBurn". The default "Write Speed" will be saved to "imgburn.ini" file.
