burn them to disc . Press 3 to determine the destination me-
dium . The available media are: USB/Firewire, CD, DVD, Dual-
layer DVD, Blu-ray disc . You can export all kinds of formats
to these destinations (e .g . DIVX, MPEG-2, H .264, etc .) . The
destination itself (optical medium) can be burned either as a
standard video DVD or in the internal export format . You can
determine the export format by entering the ‘Options’ . There
are three options here: Press 1 to choose between ‘Video
DVD’, ‘Export’ and ‘Internal’ .
• Video DVD
Burns a DVD that can be played in most DVD players . More
information about creating a DVD a little later .
Note: Creating a mini-DVD (often called cDVD), which stores
a DVD folder structure on a CD, is also possible. Playback of
such CDs is not supported by all DVD players. This format is
better suited for burning short films for playback on PC sys-
tems (e.g. presentations), on Home-Entertainment systems or
the Casablanca system itself.
• Internal
Is a format for storing data on optical media . This burns the
films, including additional formats (title, actors, genre, series-
album, etc .) . Playback of this format is only possible on
systems that use the Media Manager software . The films can
be imported back onto the hard-drive without any conversion
on a 1:1 basis .
• Export

tems or platforms . The extensive list of devices will help you to
choose the format supported by a particular device . Supported
are: mobile phones, PDAs, video player and even special
format types for internet platforms . Press the ‘List’ switch

ganizing film items in accordance with recording time, length,

Press the ‘Import’ button to reach the ‘CD/DVD internal format
play/import’ menu . You can import films that have been saved
in the internal format (see chapter 2 .2 .7 ., Options) to your
Casablanca editor . Insert a CD/DVD/Blu-ray into the tray and
wait for a moment . After a short while, you will see the con-
tents of the disc . If you wish to play a film directly, select the
film and press ‘Play’ .
If you instead wish to import, press the ‘Import’ button (Record
button) .In the area on the left (Titles on CD/DVD), there will be
a list of the movies on the medium you have inserted . Select
