DVD it Pro
HD, Is a useful tool to anyone who is leaving the
world of consumer DVD authoring designed for and
would like to produce DVD’s for the world of
replication. (Usually aimed at runs of over 500
copies.)
Easy to use, professional and logical to get stated with. What is a great advantage is the inclusion of the latest blue ray technology (tipped to be the next VHS of the recording world).
To burn a master with this new technology on my new blue ray-burning drive was straightforward. Although you can also choose to transcode the information to standard Def DVD.
There are plenty of options to include various content, which allow you to add up to 8 audio tracks (uncompressed) and 32 subtitle tracks.
Transcoding from the variouse formats (Quick time, MPEG 2, AVI and windows Media Player.) I tried all of the above and all worked, which essentially is the proof of the pudding.
I easily transferred a 1080p project into the time line and was quickly able to format a menu to navigate through the content; the only limiting factor was my creativity. I found that with 1080p at 24 mbps I could fit around 90 minutes onto a burnable single layer (25GB) so this links in very closely to the amount a DVD single layer can hold at Standard Def, However at 720p with a 15 mbps bit rate it can hold up to 2.5 hours of HD content.
I guess the best point (for me) about the software for me is the ability to encode the master with CSS and AACS copy protection; along with the simple ease of drag and drop technology made this software a delight to review.
Now I have a competent authoring package I can look seriously at filming more projects in HD. I own a couple of HDXL1’s and have been using them and shooting in standard Def, until now, because with this software I believe I can seriously look at changing my perception of high def compatibility.
