Supported Asset Types

The Track Editor’s streams contain the video, audio, and subtitle assets. You can add one
or more assets to each stream. Each stream has several properties you can set, such as
its language and whether or not it is enabled.

See

Creating Subtitles

for information on working with the subtitle streams.

In addition to assets that are already DVD-compliant, you can add assets supported by
the DVD Studio Pro integrated MPEG encoder. These assets are encoded once they are
added to your project.

See

Encoding Video Materials for DVD

for information on supported video assets,

Preparing

Audio Assets

for information on supported audio assets, and

Using the Integrated MPEG

Encoder

for information on the assets the integrated MPEG encoder supports.

Video Assets for SD-Based DVD Video Streams

All video assets on an SD-based DVD stream must use the same aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9),
the same video standard (PAL or NTSC), and the same MPEG type (SIF MPEG-1 or full D1
MPEG-2, for example).

Note: All QuickTime video assets you import into an SD project are encoded as full D1
MPEG-2 assets and can be mixed with still images in a video stream.
