Using Job Actions to Burn Dual-Layer Discs

When you burn a disc using a Compressor job action, the data rate for the output media
file is calculated automatically based on the capacity of the disc media, the type of disc
format (DVD or Blu-ray disc), and duration of source media file.

• If you submit a job before inserting blank DVD or Blu-ray Disc media into your

disc-burning device, the Share feature assumes single-layer media and adjusts the
data rate accordingly.

• If you submit a job after inserting blank dual-layer DVD or Blu-ray Disc media into

your disc-burning device, the Share feature detects the dual-layer media and adjusts
the data rate accordingly.

To ensure the best quality for a dual-layer projects, first insert blank dual-layer DVD or
Blu-ray Disc media into your disc-burning device, then click Submit to submit the job.

Note: If you choose Hard Drive (Blu-ray) in the Output Device pop-up menu to create
a disk image (.img) file, the Share feature invariably assumes single-layer media and
adjusts the data rate accordingly.
