Am I missing something?
I'm walking through the export burn process (my first) in the VS9 Disk Recorder and it's stopping on the Preview Finish page and the Burn / Format Disc options which are grayed out. Help!
The correct procedure for burning is posted on this website and included below. Although this is for VS 10, it pretty much all applies to VS9.
Burn DVD Phase
Caution: Never try to create a DVD with anything in the timeline. Do not use the SHARE/Create Disk/Add Project control option.
1. Select NEW project.
2. TBD
3. Select SHARE/Create Disc
4. Press ADD VIDEO button. Navigate to select your Mpeg2 video file. It will appear in the lower display.
5. Click the little Gear-Shaped icon on the lower left, second to the right to set the properties for the DVD burn.
Burn property setup is the same as shown above for Creating Video files.
6. Press "Change Mpeg Settings", then press "Customize," then the "Compression" tab.
7. Media Type should already be selected. Push the quality slider to 100%.
8. Set all burn properties to exactly match the properties of your Project Video File.
Version 10+ note: The DVD menu set up is different from here on. Update TBD.
9. Now press Add/Edit Chapters and use the jog bar set up your DVD Menu entry points.
10. Press Next. Now edit your DVD Menu labels, choosing each one from the selector at the top.
11. Optional Step: You can save all your DVD menus by pressing "Close". Select FILE/SaveAs and name this project "BURN Project" or something like that. Then, when you open this Burn project again and press SHARE/Create Disc, everything (menus, etc.) should still be there.
12. Skip to the last screen, Check Record to Disk if you are ready to burn. If not, you can check "Create DVD Folders" and/or create Disc Image File," instead.
13. If burning, verify the Required vs. Available disc space.
14. Hit the Output button. Burning should take about 30 minutes at 4x
15. If you see a message that says "Converting Videos, This will take a long time..." hit the Cancel button and check for the following problems (1) Burn properties do not match Video File properties, (2) Timeline display is not empty, or (3) You have used the Add Project control.
