Authoring Software

[traveler]

If this is for home use, then then the following copy of another post I did my help you. If you want pro results, I can't help you there. The following, I think, gives very good results.

I use Pinnacle Studio DV version 7 to capture from DV camcorder to computer and for editing. I then use it to put the edited version back on a another tape. I then use ULead MovieMaker to recapture the edited version and add menus and stuff and then burn it to DVD (HP DVD100i). I have to put the edited version back on tape because of the 4Gig file limit. I guess I could produce smaller files in Pinnacle and then I can import them into MovieMaker. I have Pinnacle Express for DVD burning but I like the quality of MovieMaker better. I get real good quality DVDs and I am pleased with the results. Even the analog tapes that I convert to DVD through the DV camcorder are great. For the money I havn't seen anything better.

Pinnacle Express is better at doing menus but not at final end product quality. What some people do is author in Express and use MovieMaker to burn the DVD.

Hope this may help is some way.

Multi Audio Tracks

I just need some authoring software that allows me to put mulitple audio tracks (languages) into my DVD. I am working on a project for a band and want to include a different audio track with comments from the band members, like the director comments in many movies. If anyone knows of any software that allows me to add this please post a reply or email me at beaniiman@hotmail.com

Thanks

Ive been using a program Called DVDcomplete it seams to do everything, menus, overtures etc it makes them wonderfully easy to use too but how to vurn them is a different matter lol everything i try (even copying an existing ripped dvd from disc to disc) fails not in the burning but when i come to play it. i get a copyright protection error in windows media and a FFFFFFFFFF code in powerdvd and my standalone dvd player just sits there and sound like the laser is hitting the disc.

Probably somehting im doing wrong but hey im a newbie

If you really want the best software used by Hollywood studios to create DVDs get DVD Studio Pro. It comes with all the tools and toys you can dream.
AC3 Creator, Sub title creator, Suport of ac3, motion menues, multi language, etc, etc. I use it and there is nothing that comperares to it. All you need id the digital video from your DV camara, or the .M2V files from a DVD and the program would even encode the DV to DVD and burn it at the same time. You can make and burn a DVD Hollywood movie in about 20 min.

I believe that Sonic MyDVD or DVDit SE will do the trick.

The thing about mydvd is that i can do it with DVD+Rw but every time I try to use a DVD+R it says theres a driver error every time

[esmithiii]

Use MyDVD to author the DVD, then create the DVD folder and use something else (like NERO) to burn the DVD.

ok, what is author a dvd and how do you do it thats when you split the video and audio into dvd format, right? And my friend has a nero burner but his copy is old and doesn't burn dvds. what version of nero burns dvds?

[esmithiii]

The term "Authoring" refers to the process of laying out the menus, content (audio and video) and format of the DVD or VideoCD that you wish to burn. Most authoring software packages allow you to create an image on your hard drive which can then be burned to a DVD. The latest version of NERO is 5.5, and it is worth every penny, IMO.

Here is a link: NERO 5.5 Official Site
