Using Disk-Transfer
You can use Disk-Transfer to export individual
scenes from the scene bin onto a DVD without
losses in quality and import scenes from a DVD
into the scene bin likewise without losses.
Disk-Transfer therefore comprises two compo-
nents: “Disk-Transfer Export” as an add-on to
DVD Arabesk 2 and “Disk-Transfer Import” lo-
cated under “Edit, New”.
5.1 Disk-Transfer Export
Disk-Transfer Export prepares video scenes lo-
cated in the scene bins of any projects so that
they are ready for burning onto DVD. DV Di-
rect footage that is selected in the scene bin is
packed into PC-compatible AVI files, which act
like “containers”. The footage is then collected
in a scene bin ready for burning later on. The
procedure is therefore similar to the “Add proj-
ect” function in DVD Arabesk, however, without
the video material being converted to MPEG 2.
Disk-Transfer is started from within DVD Ara-
besk. Start DVD Arabesk via the “Start program”
button in the “Finish” menu, and then select the
“Settings” item first of all.
On the right next to “Disk-Transfer Format”, you
must now select DV “Type 1” or “Type 2” as the
AVI file type for the DV Direct video footage:
• Type 1
The AVI files on the DVD that you are going to
burn will contain video and audio combined.
Although this format is more space saving com-
pared to Type 2 (approx. 5 % more video footage
fits on a DVD), only a few programs are capable
of playing and processing “Type 1” on a PC.
Therefore, “Type 1” should primarily be used
when you want to archive scenes for later use
on the Casablanca.
• Type 2
The AVI files on the DVD that you are going to
burn will contain video and audio separately.
You should favor “Type 2” over “Type 1” if you
want to process the files on a PC.
Now close the “Settings” menu by clicking on
“Ok” and select the “Export” menu.
Important notice:
Important Note:
• Before starting the Disk-Transfer “Export”
function, you must make sure that all DVD
Arabesk projects are concluded and written to
DVD. Disk-Transfer uses the same location on
the hard drive as DVD Arabesk and therefore
cannot be used parallel to DVD Arabesk.
