If you are satisfied with the result, then you can go to the menu item “Settings” in which you specify the write speed for burning the DVD (please read Chapter 3.3, item (9)).

After you have inserted a DVD, the system will calculate the settings made (if needed) and begin writing your DVD.
The writing process is finished only when the read/write diode of the writer turns off. Only then should you remove the DVD.

In the “All” menu, a window opens in which you can see information on the virtual DVD (on the hard disk) you have just designated.
Click on the button “Create” so the virtual DVD is calculated. The duration of the calculation depends on the background layout. After the calculation is finished, click on the Play button to begin playback of your DVD.
In this example, you first see your leader because you have set the option “Trailer only” under the menu item “Control”. When the trailer ends, your DVD menu is displayed.
The operating panel can be displayed by clicking on the right trackball key. In order to start a film from the menu, activate first the desired film by selecting it with the arrow keys in the operating panel (as you would with a DVD remote), and then clicking on the left trackball key. Then click on the Play button.
If you are not satisfied with the virtual DVD, then you can make further changes under “Edit Menu”. And you check the changes again under the menu item “All”.
Your DVD is now ready so that you can play it either with the DVD player integrated into the Casablanca system or with an external DVD player.
