DVD MANUFACTURING: AUTHORING

When we talk about authoring DVDs, we're talking about processing video content for transfer to a DVD master. This can mean making a direct transfer of video material onto a DVD master, or it can involve much more complicated processes. Either way, DVD authoring requires both creative and technical expertise, so your DVD will only look as good as the elements (video, graphics, photos, etc.) that go into making it!

Here are some of the features that can be added at the DVD authoring stage:

• MPEG2 encoding
• Basic or Motion Menus
• Title sequences
• Backgrounds
• Chapter breaks
• Foreign language audio tracks
• Subtitles
• Weblinks
