Archiving, Encoding, and Burning

s
Include encoded files. iDVD can
encode material in the background,
which reduces the time it takes to
burn the disc (see “Choosing an
Encoding Setting” on the next page).
Including these files means it will
take less time to burn the project on
another machine, but it also makes
the archive size larger.

Click Save. After a few minutes, depend-
ing on the size of your project, a new
archive file is created.
4 Tips
n An archive contains all the data your
project needs—except fonts. If your
project contains a font that may not be
on the computer to which you’re sending
the archive, be sure to also send a copy of
the font.
n If you’ve included any protected audio
files (such as older songs purchased from
the iTunes Music Store) in your archive,
you won’t be able to open the project on
another computer unless that machine
is authorized by you. A warning dialog
appears (Figure 5.3), and then opens
iTunes so you can input your iTunes
Music Store identification and password.
n So why not just copy the project file? To
save disk space while you’re working,
iDVD includes pointers to the media
and other data in your project, not the
data itself. Copying just the project file to
another machine wouldn’t include that
information. An archive packs it all into
a nice tidy package (Figure 5.4).
Figure 5.4 An archive is significantly larger than an
iDVD project file because it stores all of the media,
rather than including just pointers to the data.
Figure 5.3 If you have protected audio files in your
project, you need to authorize the computer with
your iTunes Music Store ID and password.
