The common workflow of EasyDVD consists of 6 main steps: Start, Source, Menu, Preview, Output, and Burn.

 

The navigation bar

Once it's started, you can jump to any step by clicking on the corresponding button on the navigation bar near the top of the main window, or by clicking on Next or Back button to jump back and forth between consecutive steps.

 

The main steps:

Start

This is the default step when EasyDVD starts. This step offers you the basic operations to manage your EasyDVD project files.

Please note that only Start and Source steps are accessible when you start EasyDVD, and the other steps are disabled since the project is empty. As soon as you have added video files to the project, those other steps will be enabled.

 

Source

You can jump to this step anytime by clicking on the "Source" button of the navigation bar. This is where you manage your video contents, for tasks such as importing video files, editing video clips, and setting DVD chapters.

Menu

You will do all your DVD menu design in the "Menu" window. Here you can add a DVD menu quickly by selecting a menu template with a few mouse clicks; or you may spend a lot of time to design your own menu pages, add your background image and music, and set your menu button styles and links.

 

Preview

The "Preview" gives you a quick check on your DVD menu design with a simulated basic DVD remote control.

 

Output

When you are ready to export the DVD project, you come to the "Output" window. Here you will select an output DVD video file folder, set your desired output size, and request EasyDVD to start the burning process automatically.

 

Burn

Here you can burn your DVD video export from the current DVD project and any valid DVD video folder ("VIDEO_TS"). You may also write the DVD export to an ISO image file.
