Overview
Now the best-selling book on DVD Studio Pro is even better.
Fully updated for DVD Studio Pro 4 and with complete coverage of
the new version of Compressor, the industrial-strength encoder that
dramatically speeds up encoding of MPEG-2 and H.264 HD DVD video,
this self-paced guide is the fastest way to learn to author
professional, interactive DVDs. Master trainers Martin Sitter and
Adrian Ramseier begin with the basics of DVD authoring and take you
all the way through DVD Studio Pro’s powerful advanced
features. Each chapter presents a complete lesson on an aspect of
DVD creation, with hands-on projects for you to complete as you go.
All the files are included on the accompanying DVD.
After learning how to storyboard a DVD and plan its interactions,
you’ll set chapter markers, build still, layered, and motion
menus, and add subtitles and Web links. You’ll also learn
sophisticated techniques for juggling multiple audio tracks and
camera angles, creating custom transitions, building advanced
overlays, and scripting. By the end of the book, you’ll have
created four full DVDs.
