No other DVD authoring package that I have used offers this combination of ease of use and creative power I have been getting video out of my computer and onto disc since 1999. DVD was a seemingly magical format back then; only high-powered Hollywood studios (with even higher-powered systems and budgets) could afford to create them. Professional DVD mastering facilities were ridiculously expensive. DVD burners that you could install into your own computer were priced in the thousands of dollars, and the software needed to create those DVDs cost thousands more. Small business and home enthusiast disc authors were therefore likely to use alternative video formats that could be burned onto CD. CD burners and blank discs were widely available and relatively inexpensive. The biggest disadvantage of these formats was quality. Despite the author's best efforts, oftentimes the quality of the finished disc paled in comparison to what Hollywood was showing could be done with DVD. Fortunately, advancing technology has made professional DVD authoring available to a wide range of people. What used to be the domain solely of big movie studios is here for you, now. These are exciting times in video editing and production! High-quality DVD presentations that reflect the artistic vision of DVD authors are feasible using tools that take up no more than a desktop's worth of space and whose cost is well within reach. If you are an experienced DVD author looking to expand your creative horizons, this book will get you up and running with Adobe Encore DVD quickly You'll also find ways to use Encore to add a big "WOW" factor to your DVDs.
