Chapter 1. Getting Started
Welcome to DVD Studio Pro 3! This chapter provides a detailed overview of Apple's DVD Studio Pro 3 (DVDSP 3) software to make sure everyone is on the same page.
Frankly speaking, DVDSP 3 gives you access to all the best features of DVDs: great video, multiple audio tracks, interactive activities, and fantastic menus. If you're new to DVDSP, you should read this chapter and try building the simple projects we cover. They give you a chance to play with the key parts of DVDSP 3 and leave you in good shape for the remaining chapters. Those of you upgrading from Version 2 might want to skim the section on using templates, which Apple introduced in Version 2 of the software. If you're upgrading from Version 2 or you're already comfortable with the basics, feel free to skip this chapter and get into the fun stuff. Chapter 2 covers the supported media types and various conversion notes. Chapter 3 is where we begin the real projects. Pick your starting point and get burning!
