Encoding Settings:

  • NTSC: Used for countries that use the NTSC standard which include the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, and several other countries. This option is selected by default.
  • PAL: Used by European countries, Australia, and parts of Asia and Africa.

Photo Archiving:

  • Archive a copy of the photos on the DVD Cinema: If this option is enabled, when a DVD slideshow is created the original image files from the order will be placed onto the DVD in a separate folder for archival purposes. This allows for creation of the slideshow along with storing the image files on the disc.

Burn Settings:

  • Burn Remotely via Back Lab Burner: This option will skip burning a DVD Cinema project at the kiosk, and send the order to Lab 50 for processing.
  • Burn at APM: When this option is enabled, DVD Cinema orders will be burned at the kiosk while the customer waits.

**Note: To enable this feature, an additional Burn-at-Kiosk license must be added and installed on the machine. Please contact your regional sales representative to purchase this feature. Additionally, the kiosk must have a DVD-R/RW drive installed and properly configured in Windows in order to burn discs at the machine.
