2 Quick Start
2.1 The common workflow
The common workflow of EasyDVD consists of 6 main steps: Start , Source , Menu , Preview, Output , and Burn.
U U U U U U U U U U U
The navigation bar Once it's started, you can jump to any step by clicking on the corresponding button on the navigation bar near the top of the main window, or by clicking on Next or Back button to jump back and forth between consecutive steps.
The main steps: Start This is the default step when EasyDVD starts. This step offers you the basic operations to manage your EasyDVD project files.
U U U
Please note that only Start and Source steps are accessible when you start EasyDVD, and the other steps are disabled since the project is empty. As soon as you have added video files to the project, those other steps will be enabled. Source
U
You can jump to this step anytime by clicking on the "Source" button of the navigation bar. This is where you manage your video contents, for tasks such as importing video files, editing video clips, and setting DVD chapters.
Menu
U
You will do all your DVD menu design in the "Menu" window. Here you can add a DVD menu quickly by selecting a menu template with a few mouse clicks; or you may spend a lot of time to design your own menu pages, add your background image and music, and set your menu button styles and links.
10
Preview
U
The "Preview" gives you a quick check on your DVD menu design with a simulated basic DVD remote control.
Output
U
When you are ready to export the DVD project, you come to the "Output" window. Here you will select an output DVD video file folder, set your desired output size, and request EasyDVD to start the burning process automatically.
11
Burn
U
Here you can burn your DVD video export from the current DVD project and any valid DVD video folder ("VIDEO_TS"). You may also write the DVD export to an ISO image file.
12
2.2 How to author a DVD Disc?

In this first example, we give you a quick illustration of the common workflow using EasyDVD to author a DVD disc with 2 video files. Step 1. Start a new DVD project Click the "New" button to start a new DVD project , and this will bring you to the Source window.
U U U U
Step 2. Import sources This Source window is where you manage all your video contents. You start by clicking on the Add movie button
U U U U
or on the Add video button

U
to add video files to your DVD project.
We now have one movie with 2 video clips in our DVD project; and without doing any video editing , we proceed to the
U U U U U
next step. Step 3. Add Chapters The quickest way to add chapters is to use the function of add equal length chapters by pressing the button
U U
. The
newly added chapters are displayed as yellow-colored marks along the top edge of the video player's timeline slider. 13
In the add chapter window, you may select a different number of chapters or simply accept the default (or the previously selected) value, and press OK.
You can also add chapters manually by using the Add chapter button
U U
or pressing 'M' on the keyboard.
Step 4. Add Menu pages Click the "Menu" button on the navigation bar to select the Menu window. The quickest way to add a DVD menu is to use the menu templates by double-clicking on a selected icon in the
U U
template list. We now have created two menu pages with eight chapters for one movie title.
You could add more to your menu with background image , background music , and motion video buttons .
U U U U U U
14
Step 5. Preview Click the "Preview" button of the navigation bar to proceed to the Preview window.
The Preview lets you do a final check on the menu design before outputting a DVD folder. If you don't like what you see, you can go back to the menu window to make changes, and then come back to check it again. Step 6. Output Click the "Output" button of the navigation bar to proceed to the Output window.
Before pressing the Start button to start exporting your DVD video, you may want to check the following. Folder path:
U
where you want to store the DVD video. select your disc capacity for burning. check the DVD export encoder settings. None (default), start DVD burning, etc.
Output sizeH:
U
Encoder :
U
Action after export:
Depending on the total DVD size and the amount of video re-encoding, an export job may take from a few minutes to several hours. At the end of the export job, a VIDEO_TS file folder is created which contains the complete DVD movie and the menu. 15
We highly recommend that you should preview the exported DVD video with a software DVD player such as WinDVD or PowerDVD. Step 7. Burn Insert a DVD disc into the DVD writer, and press the Burn button to start the burning job.
You can also burn the VIDEO_TS folder created by EasyDVD to a DVD disc by using your favorite DVD burning software coming with your DVD-R/W hardware. Step 8. Save the DVD project As the last step, you should save the DVD project to a project file. This can be done by clicking on the upper left corner
U
of EasyDVD and choose Save Project or Save Project As...from the menu.
You should save (update) often to protect your current working project from any accidental loss.
16
2.3 How to author a DVD with two or more Movies?

EasyDVD uses two levels of data management to organize a DVD project' video contents. This data organization is illustrated by the sketch map below.
Each Movie has its own list of video clips; and each clip can be a single video file, or a whole or a part of a DVD movie,
U U U U
or a list of video clips (another Movie). This example gives a quick illustration of the 2-level video data management by authoring a DVD with two Movies. Step 1. Start a new DVD project Click the "New" button to start a new DVD project , and this will bring you to the Source window.
U U U
Step 2. Create the 1st Movie Press the Add movie button
U
and follow the file open steps. With the two selected video files, EasyDVD
creates a new Movie, names it as "Movie 1", and adds it to the movie list.
17
You could add more video clips to "Movie 1" by clicking on the Add video button
U U
and selecting more video
files. Step 3. Save the 1st Movie You can save your movie to a file for later use, or to import it as a video clip.
U
To save "Movie 1" to an EasyDVD Movie file, press the Save Movie as... button and follow the file save steps. EasyDVD names its Movie files with the ".wbp" file name extension.
Step 4. Create the 2nd Movie Simply repeat Step 1 and Step 2 to create the 2nd Movie. And the result is shown below.
18
Step 5. Add Chapters Please follow Step 3 in the first example to add chapters for each of the 2 Movies.
U U
Step 6. Add Menu Again, please follow Step 4 in the first example to add DVD menu. Here, we selected one of the pre-defined menu
U U
template.
19
Step 7. Preview Click the "Preview" button of the navigation bar to proceed to the Preview window.
Step 8. Output This step will be exactly the same as Step 6. Output in the first example , since the Output step for a 2-Movie DVD has
U U
no difference from the Output step for a single Movie DVD.
20
Step 9. Burn Again, it's the same as Step 7. Burn in the first example.
U U
Step 10. Save the DVD Project Don't forget to save your DVD project , and don't forget that you should save (update) often to protect your current
U U
working project from any accidental loss. Tip. Add an Introductory video Talk about the "First Play" and how to set it for a Movie.

21
3 Start
The Start window is the first window that appears when EasyDVD starts. You can access this window at any time by clicking the "Start" button on the navigation bar.

In EasyDVD, a DVD project is always associated with an EasyDVD project file which is identified by the ".wbd" file name extension. An EasyDVD project file is a file created by EasyDVD to save your DVD authoring work. It stores video file names, chapter frame offsets, DVD menu specification numbers, and all other paramters about the video, audio or image files that you have added to your DVD project.

4.1 Movies and Movie List

EasyDVD uses two levels of data management to organize a DVD project' video contents. This data organization is illustrated by the diagram below.
On the first (top) level, EasyDVD manages a DVD project as a list of EasyDVD Movies (or simply Movies). Each EasyDVD Movie consists of a list of video clips, which are defined below. EasyDVD stores a Movie's video list into a Movie file and always uses ".wbp" as its file name extension. A Movie file stores all information about its video clip list, including file names and locations, chapter points, video cuts, lengths, and more. A simple Movie may have just one video file; a more elaborate one may involve hundreds of video files. EasyDVD manages the Movie list of a DVD project in the Movie list window.

4.2 Video Clip and Video Clip List

EasyDVD uses two levels of data management to organize a DVD project's video contents. This data organization is illustrated by the map below.
On the first (upper) level, EasyDVD manages a DVD project as a list of EasyDVD Movies, each of which consists of a list of video clips. On the second (lower) level is a list of video clips. Each clip can be a single video file, a DVD movie, or a list of video clips (another Movie). EasyDVD manages the video clip list of a Movie with the Video Clip List.
31

Movie Mode and Clip Mode Due to the difference between an EasyDVD Movie and a video clip, the video player will switch between the Movie mode, and the Clip mode, depending on whether the current selection of the Source is a Movie item in the Movie list , or a video clip item in the Video Clip List .
U U U U
When the video player is in the Movie mode, the operations represented by the control bar will be on the video list; when the video player is in the Clip mode, the operations will be on the selected video clip. A quick identification for the two modes is the play button color: Movie: blue; Clip: yellow.
Note: 1. use keys 'W' and 'V' to switch between the two video player modes from your keyboard. 2. the trim related functions have not been implemented for the Movie mode, so the three buttons are disabled in the Movie mode. 3. the fast speed control for playback using an optimized MPEG-2 video decoder is only available for MPEG-2 video files. 4. most of the video player controls have keyboard shortcuts; see Keyboard shortcuts for a complete list.

U U
Alternatively, you can edit Chapter Markers in the Menu design window.

This will add the specified number of chapters to the selected Movie or video clip. Note: This operation will replace all the previously set chapters.
38
4.6 First Play

As you may have already noticed, a DVD player starts playing automatically whenever a new movie disc is inserted. For a standard commercial DVD movie, it usually starts with a copyright message; or frequently, with the main menu. This is set by the First Play control, which instructs the player to play a selected video before anything else. In EasyDVD, the default First Play is the first page of the DVD menu or the first Movie in your Movie List for DVD projects without a DVD menu.
U U
You can set or clear the First Play to a Movie in the Movie List by selecting the movie name near the upper-right corner of the movie list window.
U U
Here is an example of a Movie List with three movies: "Movie 1", "Movie 5", and "Copyright".
By clicking on the Movie icon for the "Copyright" Movie, then clicking on the First Play button on the upper-right corner of the Movie List window, we have selected "Copyright" as the First Play Movie.
Important notes about First Play: 1. Notice that the First Play Movie is visually identified with an icon image distinct from a normal Movie icon.
2. The First Play button is a toggle switch, i.e., clicking it again will clear the Movie's First Play flag and selection. 39
3. You may also use a Movie's context menu to set or clear its First Play settings. A Movie's context menu is opened by a right mouse click on its Movie icon.
4. For DVD projects with a DVD menu, the default First Play is the first page of the menu. For DVD projects without a DVD menu, the default First Play is the first Movie in your Movie List , but will not
U U
display the First Play icon. However, should you explicitly set a Movie as First Play, then decide later to add a DVD menu, the Movie will remain at First Play; to restore the first menu page as the default setting, you must clear the First Play in the Movie List. 5. When the First Play is set for a Movie, you may also want to set a proper End Action so that after playing the selected First Play Movie, the DVD player will reach the desired screen, such as the main menu page. This can be done by additional entry in the Movie context menu.
U
If the First Play Movie has an End Action of Continue play, the playback sequence of the DVD will play through the entire Movie List, returning to the menu after completing the last Movie. Note: the default selection of the First Play is the first page of the DVD menu. For more details about first play, please read the FAQ section on 10. How to add an introductory video to a DVD?

The Menu window is the third step in your project workflow . You can access this window at any time while working on
U U

5.1 Overview
Structurally, a DVD menu is nothing more than a set of menu pages and menu buttons. Each menu page contains one or more buttons, and each button connects to a movie chapter or a menu page. This basic structure is best illustrated with the diagram below.
Another essential element of the DVD menu structure is the button links. Without exception, a menu button always has one of two types of links: a link to a movie chapter; or a link to a menu page.
Hence, the critical part of designing a good DVD menu is structuring menu pages and linking buttons in a way that allows maximal ease and flexibility in navigating video content. The most common DVD menu designs use a hierarchal menu structure, which consists of a top menu page (main menu) with one or more buttons linked to sub-menu pages (movie menu), each of which has buttons linked to video chapters.
This structure is more or less a direct mapping from the video data organization; it's also the menu structure used in
U U
most of the pre-defined DVD menu templates in the template list.

U
Since your menu organization is intimately related to your movie data structure, especially the number of chapters 42
added to each movie, you may need to work back and forth between the source window and the menu window.
U U U
The following are details on all controls you can find in the menu window. Menu Control Lists The menu control lists help you select your menu template and set your menu style. Use the top row of tool buttons to select a list, and then double-click on the icon image down in the list window to apply your selection. Your selection will affect only the current working menu page visible in the menu display window, except for the menu template list, which will change the whole menu design, i.e., all menu pages. Except for the layout, all lists can be extended with the Import button, immediately below the template tool button. The following are details of the menu controls.

" Select an End Action for a chapter link to direct the DVD play sequence to jump to a specific point of a movie or menu page. In the default DVD playback sequence of "continuous play, " the player will play all chapters until the end of the complete DVD movie. The "End Action" enables you to design a playback sequence that may not follow the logical movie sequence. By your creative use of End Action, you can tell different stories with the same video content by designing several playback sequences. Steps to set "End Action" for a movie-link button 1.

"Automatic" One of the most important selection for the DVD export encoder settings is the "Automatic" button. By pressing the "Automatic" button, you instruct the editor to set the export encoder parameters to ensure minimum video re-encoding. Since there is nothing to gain by re-encoding the video and since it results only image quality degradation, video re-encoding should always be avoided. The following are definitions of the encoder properties. Video Frame Rate Image Size Select a frame rate for the video playback. Specify the height and width in pixels for the output image size. Set a bit rate for the video encoder. The units are kilo-bits. Note that the bit rate for VBR Bit Rate (Kbps) (variable bit rate) encoding is the peak rate, i.e., the maximum average bit rate over one or two seconds. A rule of thumb for the total average bit rate of a VBR encoding is about 60% - 75% of its peak rate.

7.3 How to Reduce the Size of a Movie to Fit a DVD Disc?

The method listed below works very well when the total size of an exported DVD movie does not exceed too far from the desired disc size, e.g., for a reduction between 25% to 35%; and it works great if the needed reduction is less than 15%. Here, we assume that the input is MPEG-2 video suitable for DVD production without the need of video re-encoding. To reduce the size to fit a DVD disc, you should select a specific media disc capacity here.
NOTE: According to the disc capacity you have chose, Womble EasyDVD will compress the DVD size to the selected one at the cost of quality degradation. Then we proceed to export the DVD folder by pressing the button.
Depending on the total size of the DVD project and the amount of video re-encoding, the export job may take from a few minutes to several hours. At the end of the export job, a VIDEO_TS file folder is created which contains the complete DVD movie and the menu. We highly recommend that you should preview the exported DVD video with a software DVD player such as WinDVD or PowerDVD. If everything is OK, you may proceed to burn it on a DVD disc .

7.4 Introducing Womble EasySub DVD Subtitle Editor

Subtitle text is one of the most useful features of the DVD video system for our full enjoyment of a great movie, especially a foreign language movie, as well as a great tool for learning a foreign language. Embedded in a DVD (VOB) video file, subtitle texts are encoded as separate data streams, each of which is frequently corresponding to the spoken texts in a different language. It's a great pleasure to recommend you to try out our new DVD subtitle editor EasySub DVD subtitle editor

U U
- insert disc - select the VIDEO_TS file folder as the input data - press the Burn button to burn the disc.
91
8.2 Write an ISO Image File

Alternatively, you can also burn the VIDEO_TS folder created by Womble EasyDVD to an ISO file if there is no DVD-R/W hardware in your computer configuration. An ISO file, often called an ISO image, is in fact an "image" of an entire CD or DVD. The entire contents of a disc can be perfectly represented in a single ISO file. Specifically, use the following steps: - export the DVD as a VIDEO_TS file folder in the Output step.
U U
- check the "Write ISO" checkbox. - select the VIDEO_TS file folder as the input data. - select the output path for the ISO file. - press the Burn button to write the ISO Image file.

11.1 How to get software update?

Periodically, we will release new update version to the editor with bug fixes and new feature additions. When a new update version becomes available, we will announce it on our home page at http://www.womble.com/
U U
In the following, we briefly describe several ways to update the editor. Automatic update by connecting to the Womble web server. By the default selection for the option "Check the Web for software updates automatically"
U U
the editor will try to connect the Womble web server to check for software update, every time when the editor is started. Since the connection to the Womble web server is processed as a background job, it should not introduce any noticeable delay for starting the editor. However, if this automatic connection is undesirable, you can turn it OFF by clearing the checkbox for the option. Manual update via a complete installation. Go to Womble's download page at http://www.womble.com/download/ to download a full installation file, and proceed with a new installation. Note: If the update fails, please check all of the following:

your computer is connected to the internet, and your connection settings are correct; you are a Windows user with an account type as Computer Administrator, so that you will be allowed to change the computer system settings such as software (updates) installation; you have the write-access to the disk partition on which the DVD editor is installed; and your firewall program is not blocking the access to Womble web sites by Womble EasyDVD.
102
11.2 What is a DVD project?

A DVD project is a saved work process or series of sessions used to organize the works that must be completed to output a file with software. A project file's format differs according to the software. In Womble EasyDVD, a project file is identified by a ".wbd" file name extension. It stores your video organization with titles and chapters, and it stores your menu design with menu page names, menu page layouts, page background color settings, chapter text attributes, chapter thumbnail image selections, and more.
103
11.3 What is an EasyDVD Movie?

EasyDVD uses two levels of data management to organize a DVD project' video contents. This data organization is illustrated by the sketch map below.
On the first (top) level, EasyDVD manages a DVD project as a list of EasyDVD Movies (or simply Movies), each of which consists of a list of video clips. EasyDVD stores a Movie's video list into a Movie file and always uses ".wbp" as its file name extension. A Movie file stores all information about its video clip list, including file names and locations, chapter points, video cuts, lengths, and more. A simple Movie may have just one video file; while a complicated one may involve hundreds of video files. On the second level is a list of video clips, and each clip can be a single video file, a DVD movie, or a list of video clips (another Movie). EasyDVD manages the Movie list of a DVD project with the Movie list; and it manages the video clip list of a Movie with the Video Clip List.
104
11.4 What does DVD video folder mean?

A valid DVD video folder must be named VIDEO_TS, and this is where the DVD movie data are stored. DVD video folder (VIDEO_TS) stores video, audio, and subtitle data in the DVD-Video format, defined by the DVD Standard. In a VIDEO_TS file folder, there are three types of file - IFO, BUP, and VOB. An IFO file stores information about the organization (or connections) of video titles, audio tracks, dvd menu chapters, and subtitle tracks. A BUP file serves as a backup of an IFO file. And VOB files are the main files that store the actual video, audio, as well as subtitle data. On a DVD disc, there may also be an AUDIO_TS folder, but this will always be empty, since no one has used the DVD-Audio format, part of the DVD standard. Lastly, the abbreviation 'TS' stands for "title set" as part of the DVD data structure specified by the DVD standard.
105
11.5 What is an ISO Image file?

The following text is the beginning part of the Wikipedia page titled: "ISO Image": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_image
U U
An ISO image is an archive file (also known as a disc image) of an optical disc in a format defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This format is supported by many software vendors. ISO image files typically have a file extension of .iso. The name ISO is taken from the ISO 9660 file system used with CD-ROM media, but an ISO image can also contain a UDF file system since UDF is backward-compatible with ISO 9660. ...... Read the full article...
U U
106
11.6 Can I import AVI files into Womble EasyDVD?

Yes, you can. In order to import an AVI file, the editor will need the help of an installed video/audio codec. Currently, the editor only recognizes VFW (Video For Window) drivers.
107
11.7 Can I import a Motion JPEG video clip?

Since the editor does not have a native codec for the video type used in your camera, you will need to install a corresponding software driver (aka "plug-in") to import the file. You may try a driver from the link below http://www.free-codecs.com
U U
Please note that you will need to reboot the system after its installation before running the editor to open the MJPEG file. Also note that the editor cannot read the audio using the codec.
108
11.8 What kind of DVD disc does your program support?

Below is a list of DVD disc type that our program supports: CD-R CD-RW DVDR DVDRW DVD-RAM DVDR DL If the RW disk which you use is not empty, our software will show you certain notice before the burning job, after getting your permission, our software will erase all the content on the disk, and then write it with current content instead.
109
11.9 How to cut out unwanted segments in a video clip?

Question: I have a video file, but I only some parts of it to copy to a DVD, how can I cut out the unwanted segments with your program? You can do the trim-out editing in the Source window when you are working on a DVD project with our program. 1. Select a clip in the Video Clip List .
U U
2. Find the beginning of the segment by dragging the playback slider. Use the mouse scroll wheel to step forward or backward to get the exact frame, and press the Mark-In button (or press letter "I" on the keyboard).
3. Then we move forward to find the end of the segment and set the Mark-Out point by pressing the Mark-Out button (or pressing the keyboard shortcut letter "O").
110
4. Press the Cut button to cut out the marked segment, and all frames between and include the Mark In and the Mark Out frames will be trimmed. Please note that the total length of the video has been shortened.
5. Repeat the above steps to remove all the unwanted scenes.
111
11.10 How to add an introductory video to a DVD?

As you may have already noticed, a DVD player starts playing automatically whenever a new DVD movie disc is inserted. For a standard commercial DVD movie, it usually starts with a copyright message; or frequently, with the main menu. This is set by the "First Play" control, which instructs the player to play the selected video title before anything else. When you have all the chapters and menus ready, the default selection of First Play is the first menu page. To add the intro video, you should now go BACK to the Source window to import the introductory video and set it as First Play video manually with the steps below.
U U
1. Add the introductory video as a new movie file in the Movie List by pressing the
U U
button and follow the file
open steps in the pop-up window.
NOTE: For a better understanding of a Womble EasyDVD movie file, please consult the related topic How to Author a DVD with Two or More Movies.
U U
2. Press the "First Play" button to set the introductory video as the first play video. Please note that, the First Play selection is represented by a icon.
112
3. When the "First Play" is set for a video title, you may also want to set a proper "end action" so that at the end of ("first") playing the video title the DVD player will be at your desired video, such as returning to the main menu page. This can be done from the additional entry in the context menu.
Note that you may select Loop to play the introductory video repeatedly until you issue a new command, such as pressing the menu button on your remote control. 4. When you are done, proceed to the Preview window, which is accessible by clicking the button of the navigation bar, to check out if everything is in accordance with what you have planned for directly WITHOUT re-applying DVD menus in the Menu window.
If everything is OK, proceed to the Output step and export DVD folder.
113
11.11 How to change aspect ratio in Womble EasyDVD?

First, please note that the editor selects the display mode based on the coded information ("pel_aspect_ratio") found in an MPEG video sequence header. To change this flag in a DVD project, follow the following steps. 1. Proceed to the Output step after finishing the Source step and the Menu step. 2. Press the "Encoder" button.
3. To change menu aspect ratio, switch to menu title on the upper left of the encoder settings window. Then select the desired aspect ratio flag from the PAR list.
4. To change video aspect ratio, switch to movie titles on the upper left of the encoder settings window. Then select the desired aspect ratio flag from the PAR list. 5. Check the exported video file in the Preview step. 6. Press the "Start" button in the Output window to export DVD folder.
114
115
11.12 Can I export a DVD with nonstandard image format?

Yes. You can export a DVD with nonstandard image format by setting the "Allow export with nonstandard DVD format" on the Option page.
U U
This option will instruct the editor to export the video without re-encoding even when the image resolution is not listed in the DVD standard. According to the DVD standard, the list of video resolutions are 704 x 480, 720 x 480, 352 x 480, 352 x 240 for NTSC, and 704 x 576, 720 x 576, 352 x 576, 352 x 288 for PAL. However, this is unnecessarily over restrictive, since there are wide spread uses of other image formats, and the additional image size conversion will gain nothing but video quality degradation. Furthermore, we have tested a number of DVD players from more than 10 manufacturers, with one exception, all of which played DVD's made of nonstandard image size at 480 x 480 (NTSC) and 480 x 576 (PAL). Lastly, please note that with this option checked, the DVD maker will export a DVD with MPEG video at a HDTV resolution, even though almost all standard DVD players are incapable of its decoding.
116
11.13 Can I get an ISO file with your program?

Yes, you can. After having completed a DVD export job, you may proceed to Burn .
U U
Here you have two options: 1. burn to a DVD disc; or 2. write to an ISO image file. If you want to write an ISO image file, simply click on the "Burn To Iso" checkbox, specify your file name, and press the 'Burn' button to start the ISO image file creation.
