Everything you need to make professional DVDs With DVD Studio Pro, you’ll be able to create full-featured DVDs, with high-quality audio and video and sophisticated navigation. You won’t however, have to focus on learning complex DVD authoring commands.   You’ll find it easy to retain the quality and precision of digital video from start to finish. The projects you author are fully compatible with set-top and computer-based DVD players.   Full-featured DVD Authoring Your DVD projects can include motion or still menus, up to 99 video tracks (each with chapter markers, multiple stories, up to nine different angles, eight audio streams, and up to 32 subtitle streams), slide shows, and multiple language tracks. DVD Studio Pro supports making DVD-9 projects, so you can create DVD-Video projects up to 9 gigabytes in size. Create menus with Adobe Photoshop. DVD Studio Pro reads native Adobe Photoshop files directly to create great-looking menus and overlays. Or you can design motion menus using clips imported from a video editor such as Final Cut Pro. Final Cut Pro Compatibility DVD Studio Pro features compatibility with your desktop video editing application. Use the application you know, such as Final Cut Pro, since DVD Studio Pro fits nicely into your digital video production environment. You can easily encode your video files in the format required for DVD using the included high-quality, high-speed MPEG encoder. DVD Studio Pro handles all kinds of audio, from mono to 5.1 surround sound, and includes a utility to translate your audio into industry-leading Dolby Digital AC-3 format. You can also add web links to your DVD, so with just a click, viewers using a desktop computer can reach detailed information, product updates or even your web store. Videotape doesn’t provide that kind of interactivity.

Adaptable Interface DVD Studio Pro’s easy-to-use Apple interface displays all aspects of your project at a glance. You can work productively right away. A handy inspector shows all relevant settings. You can even customize the onscreen layout to match your work style. DVD Studio Pro features real-time previews so you can see your progress as you work. No need to create a disc image or wait for multiplexing.   Turbocharge Your Project This new SuperDrive reads and writes DVDs and reads and writes CDs.   Power Mac G4 models with the revolutionary new DVD-R/CD-RW SuperDrive let you burn your own DVD titles on 4.7-gigabyte general-use DVD-R discs (to ensure compatibility with most consumer DVD players, we recommend you purchase DVD-R media from the online Apple Store). And of course you can play DVD movies on the DVD-R/CD-RW SuperDrive. Output your work in the format that works best for you: — Choose DVD-R format to burn DVD discs that can run on all standard DVD players. — Transfer your finished project to DLT tape for mass duplication. — Use DVD-RAM to test your projects inexpensively using computer DVD-RAM drives before committing them to other media. From collecting your assets to burning the final output, DVD Studio Pro takes care of the details of DVD authoring so you don’t have to. You can author and write DVDs yourself.
