DVD preview area: A preview area shows what the disc menu will look like based on any
loaded graphic and the settings selected in the Disc Template pop-up menu.

Blu-ray Action Drawer
Use the Blu-ray Action drawer to enter information and settings for the Blu-ray disc you
want to burn.
Note: Because Blu-ray and AVCHD menus are best suited for display at 1080i or 1080p
resolutions, ensure that your player and display are set accordingly.
Output Device: Use this pop-up menu to choose a Blu-ray disc burner to burn a Blu-ray
disc, or select Hard Drive to create a disk image (.img) on your drive that can be burned
to a Blu-ray disc later using the Disk Utility application (available in the Utilities folder).
Any disc burners connected to your Mac will appear in the list.
If you don’t have a Blu-ray disc burner, you can also use a standard DVD burner to burn
discs that will play in some Blu-ray players.
When outputting to a standard DVD burner (using standard DVD media), the Blu-ray
output burns the disc in the AVCHD format. AVCHD discs can be thought of as simpler
HD discs that you can burn to red laser media. Blu-ray disc players that support the AVCHD
format can play these discs. This allows you to burn a disc that contains HD video content
and some basic menu features on a standard DVD burner and be able to play that disc
on many Blu-ray Disc players.
Note: Some Blu-ray Disc players may not support playing the AVCHD format.
Important: You cannot play any disc containing Blu-ray content on a Macintosh computer.
Disc Template: Use this pop-up menu to choose a template for the Blu-ray disc.
