Top 10 New Features and Enhancements in Adobe Encore DVD 2.0

1) Enjoy easy slideshow creation
Whether you're a professional filmmaker looking to add special content to your DVD release, a professional graphic artist or photographer creating a DVD catalog or portfolio of your work, or you simply want to organize family photos onto DVD for personal use, you'll appreciate the new slideshow capabilities offered in Adobe Encore DVD 2.0.

2) Use Flowchart to design DVD navigation
Flowchart, another new feature in Adobe Encore DVD 2.0, offers a graphical view of your DVD menus, timelines, and playlists and the links between them. This view makes it easy for you to define, review, and adjust the most detailed DVD navigation schemes. Flowchart provides a schematic map that shows what viewers will experience when they play your DVD. The map depicts the disc in a tree structure, with the disc itself as the root.

3) Arrange your workspace with panels that dock and group If you've used Adobe Encore DVD in the past, you know it's not uncommon to have lots of palettes and
windows open in your workspace. Moving windows and palettes individually to set up your ideal workspace for the current task can be time-consuming. A palette may inadvertently become obscured behind a larger palette, or dragged to the edge of the screen and forgotten, making it difficult to locate later.

4) Assemble your assets faster with Adobe Bridge
Get fast, efficient access to all your creative assets using the new Adobe Bridge application included with Adobe Encore DVD 2.0. Locate, browse, and organize files more easily, and drag files from Adobe Bridge directly into your DVD project flowchart or timeline. Adobe Bridge keeps video, audio, menus, and image files at your fingertips. Numerous views of assets—including Thumbnails, Filmstrip, and Details—make it easy to find and identify particular assets. Finding specific files is also made easier, thanks to XMP metadata support.

5) Automated chapter menus

6) Chapter Playlists

7) Add chapter points at set intervals
Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 allows you to add chapter points at fixed intervals throughout your content with a single command. This ability is valuable for situations such as creating a disc for client approval, when evenly spaced chapters make it easier for the reviewer to quickly go through the content. Or you can use it early in your project to quickly add chapter points that you can later adjust as you finish the project.

8)Multiple clips on timeline

9) XMP metadata support

10) DTS support
