In the Content screen you can create a project according to your requirements and arrange titles of a compilation.
|
A “project” refers to the process that begins when the video is first opened and ends when the movie is finished or exported. A project can be saved in a project file that will include all the performed changes. It can be reopened at a later time. The project file has the extension *.nvc (Nero Vision Compilation).
|
You can play back every title in the preview area in the upper left. The added titles are listed in the content area right next to the preview area. Each video title is shown with a thumbnail and information on the file name, length of the video, and number of chapters. In addition all existing chapters can be displayed 
or rendered invisible 
as desired with the aid of the buttons. The beginning of each chapter is indicated by the chapter mark on the scroll bar in the preview area; an exception to this is the first chapter because its beginning is also the beginning of the video title.

Chapters are sections in a video title that you can access on your player using the Back and Next buttons without having to fast forward or rewind. Initially, each video title contains only one chapter. You can add new chapters manually or automatically.
The advantage that chapters have is that they allow the user to jump directly to individual chapters within a video without having to fast forward or rewind.

If you have selected the Create chapters automatically check box in the extended area, chapter marks are automatically created during the burn process for quicker navigation with the remote control. However, these chapter entries do not have menu entries.
You can change the disc type next to the capacity bar of the overall memory used in the lower area of the screen. The indication of available space is adjusted accordingly. The total available space depends on which project you are editing. If the disc you are using is a DVD-1 or DVD-9 (with 7.95 GB capacity) instead of a DVD with 4.38 GB storage capacity, select the correct disc type in the drop-down menu. If the disc you are using is a CD, select either the 74 or 80 minutes capacity in the menu.
With the aid of the buttons in the right-hand area of the screen it is possible to insert and arrange titles into your project. The following selection entries are available in the Import selection list:
