How to make 3D Blu-ray Disc with ExpressAuthoring
Thank you for using Accelcoder X for your professional compression needs. This tutorial will help you to make 3D Blu-ray Disc using ExpressAuthoring of Accelcoder X. ExpressAuthoring allows the output data to be written directly to Blu-ray Disc without an authoring software.
To make Blu-ray Disc, data burning software and Blu-ray Disc drive are required as well as Accelcoder X. This tutorial is using ImgBurn, which can be downloaded at http://www.imgburn.com/.
1. Start Accelcoder X
Start Accelcoder X from the start menu or short cut on the desktop.
2. Create a Project Folder
Project Folder is where encoded files are stored.
To create a Project Folder, right-click the root folder (C:\Accelcoder_work\jobs by default) in the Project Folders, and select New Folder. Then you can see new project folder under root folder.
3. Select Template
The ExpressAuthoring can be done by selecting dedicated template.
If you will create 3D Blu-ray Disc, move to the Template tab and double-click Blu-ray 3D for Writing (data folders). You will be done with a green check on it.
4. Import Video
A video source will be added as an encoding job.
Go back to the Job tab, drag and drop files of both left and right sides on the Job List. File name of the left source will be name of the new job.
If the source is sequential still image files, drag and drop the folders of both left and right sides.
5. Import Audio
To import a separate audio file to the video, double-click the job and open the Parameter Settings window.
On the Parameter Settings window, choose "Audio" at Basic > Input > Sub Input, and specify the location of the audio file. Click OK to save.
6. Start Encoding
Encoding may be started with the Encode button.
Encoded video may be checked on the Preview Window during encoding.
If the source file is not read correctly, "？ Unsupported" will appear on the Status.
To know causes and solutions of this problem, read FAQ.
7. Get Encoded file
Encoded files are saved in the same folder as the project folders you created at step 2. You can find the "L-sourcename.iso" file in the project folder. It will be the image file to be directly burned on the Blu-ray Disc.
8. Burn using ImgBurn
Start the ImgBurn. When you see the start screen, click "Write image file to disc".
Drag and drop the iso file to the "Source" area.
Click the icon at the bottom left of the window to begin burning . When you finish writing, Blu-ray Disc is ready.
