Disc-burning job actions

The “Create Blu-ray disc” and Create DVD job actions include the following properties:

• Output device: This pop-up menu specifies the device that the output files will be formatted for. You can choose Hard Drive to create a disk image (.img) file that you can burn to DVD media at a later time using the Disk Utility application (available in the OS X Utilities folder).

  Note: The items in this menu are determined by your system’s available options. For example, when no Blu-ray or DVD drive is detected, only the Hard Drive option is available.

• Layers: This pop-up menu sets the type of disc that will be created. There are three options:

  • Automatic: Detects the inserted disc’s type. For Automatic to work, you must insert the disc before clicking Burn. Additionally, Automatic always creates a single-layer disk image when Hard Drive is selected as the output device.

  • Single-layer: Creates output for a single-layer disc. You can use this option to treat a dual-layer disc as a single-layer disc.

  • Dual-layer: Creates output for a dual-layer disc. When you choose Hard Drive as your output device, the “Dual-layer” option creates a disk image in dual-layer disc format. Choosing “Dual-layer” when using a single-layer disc may result in an error while burning the disc, depending on the project’s length.

• Disc template: This pop-up menu sets the menu template.

• Title: Type the disc name in the text field.

• When disc loads: This pop-up menu sets what happens when you play the disc: Show Menu or Play Movie.

Open with Application

• Open with: This pop-up menu sets the default application for opening the transcoded file (for example, iTunes or QuickTime Player).

Prepare for HTTP Live Streaming

This job action processes the transcoded files using the instructions you provide via the properties below and then uploads the processed files to the server you specify.

• Destination for Live Stream assets: Click the Choose button to assign a save location for the live streaming assets.

• Segment duration: Enter a minimum number of seconds per segment for the segment duration.

  Because the segment’s length determines when the web server can switch between the various video formats while streaming to a device with varying network connection speeds, a shorter segment duration allows the server to respond more quickly to changing connection speeds. In most situations, it’s recommended that you leave the segment duration at 10 seconds.

• Create Read Me file with sample HTML: Select this checkbox to create a sample HTML file for hosting the HTTP live-streaming content.

Run Automator Workflow

This job action applies an Automator workflow to an output file after transcoding.
