Apple DVD Studio Pro 4 - Manual (Page 137)

• Location: Select the location to save files to.
• Same Folder as the Asset: This is the default setting. It places the files into an MPEG
or PAR subfolder (depending on the type of file being created) in the original file’s
folder. For QuickTime assets, an MPEG folder is created, with a PAR subfolder. The
encoded file is placed in the MPEG folder and, if necessary, the parse file is placed in
the PAR folder. For assets that are already MPEG-encoded, a PAR folder is created
and the parse file is placed there. If the original files are on a volume that can’t be
written to, such as a CD-ROM disc or a disk you do not have Write privileges for,
DVD Studio Pro automatically writes to the Specified Folder/Fallback Folder location.
• Project Bundle: This setting saves the files to the project file. To see the contents of
the project file (the file created when you saved your project), locate the file in the
Finder, Control-click it, then choose Show Package Contents from the shortcut menu.
If you have not saved your project yet, the files are saved at your Specified
Folder/Fallback Folder location.
• Specified Folder/Fallback Folder: This setting saves the files to a disk and folder you
choose. You can either enter the path directly or click Choose to open a dialog to
choose the folder to use. It is also used when DVD Studio Pro is unable to write to
the Same Folder as the Asset or Project Bundle locations. The default path is in your
home folder at /Library/Caches/DVD Studio Pro Files. If you specify a location that
cannot be written to, this default path is used in its place.
Encoding Preferences
The Encoding pane contains the settings that control the integrated MPEG encoder,
which is used when you import a QuickTime asset. See
Using the Integrated MPEG Encoder
for more information on the integrated MPEG encoder and details on these settings.
