Simulation

Check Your Content By Using Simulation

The Simulation Stage lets you check the content of what you have created so far. The controls of the Simulation Stage are meant to mimic the controls of an actual DVD player's remote, allowing you to see how your menus will work. It also lets you see how your videos play (play order, motion menus, etc.).

The Simulation Screen

1. Preview Area
This is the main preview area where your project will be displayed.

2. Start Simulation button
Click this button to start the simulation.

3. Directional Keys
These mimic the directional controls on a typical DVD remote.

4. Playback Controls
These mimic the playback controls of a DVD player. You can also adjust audio or toggle subtitles.

If you are satisfied with how your DVD-Video looks in the simulation, click on "Output" to go to the final stage.

If you want to fix or change your menus or source files, you can go back to any previous stages to make your changes.
