Opening Tracks

To configure a track, you need to open it in the Track Editor. You can select the track you
want to work with in the Outline tab, the Graphical tab, or the Track Editor.

To open a track in the Track Editor
Do one of the following:

µ

Double-click the track you want to configure in the Outline or Graphical tab.

µ

Choose the track from the Track Editor’s Track pop-up menu. The track appears in the
Track Editor and the Track Inspector changes to display its properties.

Setting Track Properties

The Track Inspector contains a top section and four tabs: General, Other, User Operations,
and Transition.

Settings at the Top of the Track Inspector

There are three settings at the top of the Track Inspector.

Name: Enter the name for the track. If a track is created because a video asset was

dragged to the Menu Editor, the Outline tab, or the Graphical tab, it is automatically
named the same as the video asset. In other cases, the track is named “Track _” where
“_” is the next available number.

Est. Size: Shows the approximate amount of disc space the track will require. This takes

into account all of the assets assigned to the video, audio, and subtitle streams.

End Jump: Choose the element to jump to once the track finishes playing. If you don’t

make this selection, the DVD player will be unable to continue playing the title when
it reaches this point. If the track was created by dragging an asset to the Menu Editor,
the End Jump is automatically set to jump back to that menu.
