drbgaijin — Fri, 22 May 2009 00:06:55 GMT

Not everyone wants to author a fully featured DVD with chapter points. menues. subtitles etc.
Sometimes all that is required is a quick output of a sequence in MC to a DVD with nothing added.
Here is one workflow which is simple and requires only 4 easy steps.

Good luck!
