“ Hello,
I'm happy with my purchase. The price is good and the player works well.
Something that most DVD tutorials could probably improve on is the subject detail of their indexes. As with all manuals, the quality of the index has direct bearing on how effectively the relevant information can be located. DVD tutorials do tend to require immersion in the whole package to learn details not necessarily apparent from the index.

“ DVDSP has tons of options and can be configured for many striking chapters, buttons, and effects. Mac Pro Video helps sort out all of these options with clear descriptions of each one. I highly recommended MPV tutorials. I especially like them because they are a video tutorial, it is much easier for me to understand a video than read an instruction manual. ”

“ I have not gone through this DVD fully, in fact have looked only at some lessons.
However, I can immediately see that Martin Sitter's approach is very fresh and crystal clear. He neither is condescending nor prone to too much hand holding.
I happened to randomly pick his explanation of square and rectangle pixel lesson in the DVD and immediately discovered why I had been doing it wrong all this time. Superbly clear explanation. I am excited and looking forward to the rest. Keep it up.
I also think your NED is a master stroke. It makes downloading tutorials such a snap...as opposed to snapping you trying to get the downloads organized.
I am very impressed with your approach to tutorials.
I have paid for the In Production Motion 3 as well and cannot wait to get my hands or rather my mouse on it. It is due March 13 per your web site.

Description
DVD Authoring is 90% knowing how to manipulate the DVD-Video specification to acheive your design requirements, and that means understanding how to efficiently pilot DVD Studio Pro.
This program shows you all of the major areas of DVD-Video authoring, including designing menus and video for use in DVDs, ceating subtitles and alternate language menus, using alternate angles and video streams, and outputting your final DVD-Video.
In fact, this program is just as much a science lesson as a DVD Studio Pro tutorials. You'll learn how to encode video for DVDs, what frame rates and dimensions you should use, and even the frame by frame theory about how MPEG-2 video is encoded.
More than a beginners tutorial, Mastering DVD Studio Pro gets into deep theory about displaying digital video on television screens. If you are designing intractive video in DVD Studio Pro, get the jump on your competition now, by watching these videos.
