Finally, the `Output` zone is where you decide on the target media and the burning parameters. In order to preview your current project, the application offers a simulation dedicated section for testing purposes. You can add a menu to your project by setting its aspect ratio, resolution and template. The Source area of the program delivers great editing features like `Clip & Chapter / Subtitle or Transition edit` as well as fine audio / video track customization capabilities. You can select the clip addition method in the next step and opt for the `Clip editor` and multiple tracks. Once you customize your project settings and proceed by clicking on the `New Project` button, the `Source Wizard` window will pop on the screen, allowing you to choose the method to add clips to your project – files stored locally or from various mediums such as DVD, BD, DV / HDV capture or pictures. TMPGEnc Authoring Works also provides a `Disc Writing Tool` to burn your disc-ready material. You can easily select your desired format from `DVD Video`, `Blu-ray BDMV` or `AVCHD for DVD / Progressive / HDD / Memory` as well as the color encoding system (PAL / NTSC). The welcome screen of the application lays out everything you need to start working on your disc authoring. By the looks of it, the program may just do that by bringing an intuitive yet modular interface alongside its professional yet colorful touch. The developers also add the fact that this `should be fun, not confusing`.
