Add Chapters at Fixed Time Intervals
Set up fixed time intervals for chapter points to be automatically inserted, making it easier for viewers of the content to navigate through long video projects by selecting chapter points at regular time intervals.

Support for Dual Layer DVD Drives
Dual-layer burning technology offers twice the storage capacity (8.5 GB) of single-layer DVD discs. Using dual-layer DVD burners, users can now burn their own long-form video projects such as seminars, live events and independent films on a single disc.

Two-pass MPEG-2 Encoding
Two-pass MPEG-2 encoding analyzes a video stream during the first pass to pre-determine the most appropriate compression for each frame. Then the encoder renders the video with optimized streams during the second pass. This video encoding method adjusts the bit rates more efficiently to create better, smoother visual quality.
