The format dialog appears.

By default, DVD Studio Pro assumes you want to format the project that was built last.
The settings in the format dialog are set to match the last build. It is a good idea to verify
that the settings in the General, Disc/Volume, and Region/Copyright tabs are correct.

You can use the Choose button next to Current Build to select a folder that contains the
VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder you want to format.

Important:

DVD Studio Pro attempts to find the .layout and .LAY files in the VIDEO_TS or

HVDVD_TS folder you choose. An error message appears if they are not found, and in
this case, you must manually configure the settings in the General, Disc/Volume, and
Region/Copyright tabs. Additionally, if the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder contains a
dual-layer project, you are not able to specify the break point and must use the automatic
method. See

Non-Standard SD DVD Video Zone Files

and

Non-Standard HD DVD Video

Zone Files

for more information.

2

Configure the Destination section in the General tab in the format dialog. This is where
you select and configure the output type. See

Output Type Settings

for more information.

3

Click Burn to start formatting the project if you are writing to DVD or DLT, Format if you
are writing to a hard disk, or Build & Burn if you used the Build/Format command.

The format process begins and a progress bar appears that shows the format steps
currently being performed.
