It is for making discs that contain scene selection menus and chapters. Simply follow the steps along the top of the screen and design your own scene selection menus or use the provided templates. Then burn your content to BDMV disc or DVD.

Choose video clips or slideshows to add to your BDAV project, or edit the playlists of an existing project, then burn your content to BDAV disc.

TotalMedia Extreme isn't just about video. You can create audio CDs to play in your car or from your home stereo system. You can rip your audio CDs to hard disc in a variety of formats, and you can copy CDs easily. Both music and data discs are easy to create or duplicate, whether you prefer CD, DVD, or BD format.

Whether your most important files are audio, video, email messages, or Internet Explorer favorites, the TotalMedia Backup, TotalMedia Record, and Utilities applications let you easily back up and restore everything you can think of. Simply click one button to select all your irreplaceable files, then click once more to back them up to CD, DVD, or BD. You can also create or rip audio CDs and create and copy disc images. It's a complete data mastering solution!
