Build and format the title and write it as a disk image to your hard disk: The disk image

contains the specified DVD-ROM content in addition to the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS
folders. Using the Apple DVD Player, you can play the disk image as if it were a burned
DVD, and the DVD@CCESS links that rely on the DVD-ROM files can be tested.

Configuring Computers for DVD@CCESS Playback

Any DVD discs burned by DVD Studio Pro that include DVD@CCESS links also include an
Installer for a small program that allows Windows computers to process the links. This
program needs to be installed only once on a computer—it is not specific to that DVD
title and will work with all DVD titles that use DVD@CCESS.

The Installer is located on the DVD in the DVD@CCESS folder, along with installation
instructions.

Macintosh Computers

In the Apple DVD Player version 2.4 and later, DVD@CCESS playback functionality is built
in.

When using version 2.4 or later of the Apple DVD Player, you need to configure it to
process the links. Select Enable DVD@CCESS Web Links in the Disc tab in DVD Player
Preferences.

Windows Computers

The DVD@CCESS Installer for Windows installs a program that works with most DVD player
applications and Windows computers to process the DVD@CCESS links in the DVD title.
See DVD Studio Pro Late-Breaking News, accessible through DVD Studio Pro Help, for
specific information on known issues.

Including the DVD@CCESS Installer with a DVD

The DVD@CCESS Installer is automatically added to a DVD when you burn it directly from
DVD Studio Pro.

When you need to burn your DVD using another method, the Installer is not automatically
added. You can manually add the Installer to the disc by copying it from the
DVD Studio Pro application package.

Important:

Be very careful when working within the DVD Studio Pro package. You can

easily corrupt the data, lose custom settings, and be forced to reinstall DVD Studio Pro.
This procedure should only be followed if you understand the concept of opening an
application’s package and working within it.

To copy the DVD@CCESS Installer manually

1

Locate the DVD Studio Pro application icon in your computer’s Applications folder. (This
is the default location; the application may be located elsewhere depending on how it
was installed.)
