Create a DVD, Blu-ray disc, AVCHD disc, or disk image
You can burn your project to a standard-definition DVD or to a Blu-ray-compatible disc. There are 
two ways to create a Blu-ray-compatible disc:
•
Use an external optical drive that supports Blu-ray disc burning to blue laser media.
•
Use a standard DVD burner and standard red laser media to create an AVCHD disc with HD 
video content and menus. You can play AVCHD discs in Blu-ray players if they are compatible 
with AVCHD discs.
You can also create a disk image (.img) file that you can copy to an external drive. You can take 
the disk image to a disc replication facility or burn it to DVD or Blu-ray disc media at a later time 
using Disk Utility.
Markers are added to the file on disc at 30-second intervals, making it it possible to use the DVD 
or Blu-ray player’s remote to skip forward or backward 30 seconds each time the Next Chapter 
or Previous Chapter buttons are pressed. Each disc format has a maximum allowable number of 
disc markers: 
•
Standard DVD: 99
•
Standard Blu-ray: 999
•
AVCHD: 50
Note:  If Compressor is installed on your computer, you can use the Send to Compressor option 
to open the project in Compressor, where you can add and name chapter markers using the 
Preview window. For more information, see
