Video Description
DVD Authoring is 90% knowing how to manipulate the DVD-Video specification to acheive your design requirements, and that means understanding how to efficiently pilot DVD Studio Pro.
This program shows you all of the major areas of DVD-Video authoring, including designing menus and video for use in DVDs, ceating subtitles and alternate language menus, using alternate angles and video streams, and outputting your final DVD-Video.
In fact, this program is just as much a science lesson as a DVD Studio Pro tutorial. You'll learn how to encode video for DVDs, what frame rates and dimensions you should use, and even the frame by frame theory about how MPEG-2 video is encoded.
More than a beginners tutorial, Mastering DVD Studio Pro gets into deep theory about displaying digital video on television screens. If you are designing intractive video in DVD Studio Pro, get the jump on your competition now, by watching these online videos.
