Click the Options button to open the Video Save Options dialog boxto review and/or change the attributes of your video file. (This can be acomplicated operation. See the next section on "Determining your videosave options" to learn more about these options.)5. Click OK to accept the current video attributes. The Video SaveOptions dialog box closes and you return to the Create Video File dialogbox.6. Click Save.Notes:•Render your video with exactly the same attributes as your captured video.The movie should render very quickly and the quality will be the best you can get.The most important attributes you should check are: codec, frame rate, andframe size. You can check these settings by right-clicking on a selected videoclip in your project and selecting Properties from the pop-up menu.•Render your video as few times as possible, preferably only once.

Instead, bring the CG Infinity project onto the Video EditorTimeline.• When creating an MPEG file, MSP now supports AC-3 Output for DVD.
