Step 1: Enter the Blu-ray Creator Module

Launch Prof. Media and then click the Blu-ray Creator button to enter the Blu-ray Creator function module.

Step 2: Import Source File

You can import source videos in two ways: by clicking the “Add Video” button and selecting “Add Video File” or “Add Video folder” on your actual needs to load videos, or by directly dragging and dropping files to the program.

After importing the movie, you can get a preview of the video in high quality thanks to the built-in Blu-ray player module. Click the play button on the thumbnail of the video you have just imported, and you can get an instant preview of your video in high quality.

The built-in player offers a snapshot shortcut which allows you to take a snapshot at the current screen; an edit shortcut which brings you to the edit panel (See Part 6. How to edit video with Leawo Blu-ray Creator foe Mac for more details) and an open shortcut which enables you to import another video.

Step 3: Output Settings

After importing your source video, at bottom you can choose DVD or Blu-ray format from BD-50, BD-25, DVD-9, DVD-5, choose aspect ratio between 4:3 and 16:9 (you can only go with 16:9 when burning to Blu-ray) and set quality to “Fit to disc” which best fits the video. The bar next to the Aspect Ratio shows how big the final file is going to be.

Before you get to the next step, you can choose the subtitles and sound tracks you like from file. Click to choose the subtitles you want, you can even import one from your computer. Click to choose a sound track in the file. (Note: You can only choose one set of subtitles and one sound track for the output file.) And you can go to the Preferences to choose Default video mode and Blu-ray region code. Click “Preferences” on the menu , and then click Copy & Burn.

Before moving on, you can also edit the video and the disc menu, to see more details please check Part 6 video editing and Part 5 Disc Menu Customization.

Step 4: Burning Settings and start to burn

Click the green Burn button at the top right corner to call out a burning settings sidebar. There are several parameters you need to set before starting to burn your Blu-ray or DVD.

Disc Label: You can rename the label of the output file on the Disc Label box.

Folder: Check the Folder option if you want to convert the video into a Blu-ray/DVD folder.

ISO File: check ISO File option if you want to create an ISO file from your source file. You are allowed to check both Folder and ISO File to create a Blu-ray/DVD folder and an ISO file at the same time.

Drive title: To burn video to a disc inserted in your CD-ROM, the drive title must be checked and the right CD-ROM must be selected in the drive title box .

Save to: If you want to create an ISO file or folder, you have to Set the directory for the output file under Save to option by clicking Browse button .

After you have set all the parameters you need, click the Burn icon at the bottom of the sidebar to start burning video to the blank disc or ISO image file or folder.

Step 5: Burning Process

The burning process will immediately start once you click the Burn icon. You can monitor the whole process from the two green bars, one of which shows the progress of the current file, the other shows the process of the entire project. Burning will complete once the bar named “Total” is completed.

You can cancel the burning process anytime by clicking the Cancel button at the bottom right corner. Under the Cancel button is where you can choose what you want the program to do when the burning process is finished, to Do Nothing, Exit Program or Shut Down.
