Tweak The DVD Compilation

Click on “Lock Ratio” to stop the recording quality of a DVD title from being changed automatically. However, you can still change the quality manually by moving the slider. Click “Unlock Ratio” to let Recode automatically modify the video quality. The “Fit to Target” check box is checked by default—this means that the disc inserted will be automatically recoded to fit the size of the blank disk inserted (where possible). If “Fit to Target” has been checked, you can select the target from the dropdown—the choices available are 8 cm DVD (1.4 GB), DVD-5 (4.7 GB), DVD-9 (8.5 GB), and Custom.
The level indicator will be adjusted depending on the target. When the box is disabled, the size of a copy can be specified independently of the disc’s size limitations.
Click on an item in the list and click on Play to preview the video. In the Audio area, you can select which audio track you want in the output—many DVDs have 2.1 as well as 5.1 channel sound tracks; some even have multiple-language audio tracks. Here you can choose the sound track of the format and language suitable for you. The Subtitles area works the same way. At the bottom of the page is the space indicator that lets you keep check on the size of the DVD. You should not allow the indicator to enter the red region.
