DVD Authoring ?? (Adobe Encore?)
 

If I want to make a DVD that will eventually be sent to be duplicated proffesionally, is Adobe Encore an acceptable software?

Or is it better to let a pro do the authoring, too?

adobe encore is crap and complicated.....just read the reviews on it. Save your money. Much better stuff available out there.

Depends on your experience and volume... if you're doing a heavy volume it's just as cheap to have it done professionally.... and much faster.

Wel, I HAVE adobe Encore. And I've used it a bit.


My question is more along the lines of, "If I use this, will it be as universally playable as if I had a pro do the authoring."

I'd like control over the look, so I'm wondering the best way to do that. Give Photoshop files for the menu +tapes of the video to an authoring outfit? Or try to put it all together myself?

yes, DVD projects authored in encore are ready for mass duplication

Put the master together yourself using Encore...then send it out. Which version Encore do you have? 1.0 had major issues.

Yes, Encore can do this for you.

Looks like 1.5

Cool, thanks!

Hey, I have a Adult Website Tours question... do you know who I should takk to to? I thought someone mentioned your name.

You really should send your authored stuff to the duplicator on DLT tape, most good duplicators will not accept a authored dvd on burned dvd media, unless it was burned on authoring dvd drive. Make sure you talk to your duplicator to see what they accept
