If high speed is to be used, then the DVDs must
always be high-speed media appropriated for
high-speed writing. Fast writing is not just a
factor of high-speed media, because the factors
listed above also play an important role.

Some DVD players may have a problem playing
high-speed media.

If high-speed writing is not possible, even
though it is set, the DVD will automatically be
written at normal speed.

Warning: Casablanca Avio does not support
high-speed writing.

In addition, in the window Settings you see
the button Verify DVD. If this button is activated,
the system automatically checks to see whether
this DVD can still be read or played without
errors on the built-in drive after burning. If this
button is deactivated, the system will ask you if
you want to carry out a check.

If your system is fitted with the Pioneer DVR-108
drive (or newer version) you will see the Use
Dual Layer
button. This option must be activated
if you want to write data onto an entire dual-
layer DVD. However, you must then ensure that
+R DL is listed as a supported medium in the
subsequent information field (see fig.).

The other information in this field relates to the

software and firmware versions of your system.

(10) You can automatically open and close the
tray of the DVD burner by clicking on this button.

(11) With a click on the menu symbol in the
lower right corner of the DVD-Arabesk 3 menu
you return to the Finish menu.

Note: When you exit the program DVD-Arabesk
3
you will find yourself in the project from which
you started DVD-Arabesk 3.

4. Practice Example for Layout of a
DVD Menu

The following section offers two practice
examples to introduce you to the creation of
DVD menus.

It is not necessary to write a DVD for these
practice examples. You can view the result with
the built-in player, because the virtual DVD is on
the hard disk.

4.1 Menu layout with DVD-Arabesk 3

In this practice example we would like to
demonstrate the possibilities of the program
DVD-Arabesk 3 that you have already learned
about in the previous reference sections.

You will learn how to specify a layout for a DVD
menu and how to use various functions.

In this example we assume that you have
already created three different film projects on
your system and that these projects are ready
to be written. Of course it can be more or less
projects than this.

Create a short leader introducing your DVD. You
can use e.g. a black scene of 20 to 30 seconds
duration that has been given a title, or think up
something spectacular, whatever you wish!
