Create ISO or Burn a Disc

How do I create an ISO image or burn a disc?

01 Before you start

  1. Add your videos on the Add title screen. How to add titles →
  2. Pick a menu template for your DVD. How to choose a menu →
  3. Open the Burning tab of Project Settings and decide: Create ISO Image, Burn project to disc, or both. All burning options →
  4. Click the Start burning button on the last screen.
No disc in the drive? No problem - just tick Create ISO Image and you can burn the ISO later on any computer.

02 How to create an ISO image

  1. On the Burning tab, tick Create ISO Image.
  2. Make sure Burn project to disc is unchecked if you only want the ISO file.
  3. Click Next through the wizard and press Start burning.
  4. Wait for the encoding and authoring to finish - the ISO file is written to your DVD Destination Folder.
An ISO image is a single file that holds the entire DVD. Keep it somewhere safe - it can be mounted, shared, or burned to a disc at any time.

03 How to burn a DVD to disc

  1. Put a blank (or rewritable) disc in your burner.
  2. On the Burning tab, tick Burn project to disc and select your burner in Select your burn drive.
  3. Set the Disc label, Speed and the post-burn options you want (verify, eject, erase).
  4. Press Start burning and wait for the progress window to finish.
  5. When it's done the disc is ready - and if you ticked Eject tray when done, the tray opens automatically. How to set auto-eject →
ISO or disc - which one?
  • ISO image - best for backups, archives and sharing; no disc or burner needed to create it.
  • Disc - ready to play in any DVD player or console.
  • Both - create the ISO and burn it in one run.
