  Book Information

If you're looking for an easy and stimulating way to master
Adobe Encore DVD and fine-tune your moviemaking skills at
the same time, look no further than Adobe Encore DVD: In the
Studio. This full-color tutorial will help you push the
limits of Adobe Encore DVD by helping you to create highly
imaginative designs and projects.

Designed primarily for Adobe Creative Suite developers,
particularly those using Adobe Premiere and AfterEffects, as
well as filmmakers who wish to transfer their projects to
DVDs, the book combines practical learning materials and
project-based lessons.

But Adobe Encore DVD: In the Studio is not your average
tutorial. The book draws on the experience of author Doug
Dixon--an expert on Adobe Encore DVD, the author of other
books on DVD development, and a core member of the product's
alpha and beta programs. Well-versed in both the use and
design of Adobe Encore DVD, Dixon imbues this O'Reilly Media
digital book with the unique perspective of an insider who
really knows his pixels.

Adobe Encore DVD: In the Studio discusses the protocols
involved with DVD files and file systems; pixel aspect ratio
issues; common gotchas using both still and motion media;
and a plethora of tips and tricks to using dynamic buttons.
You'll get up to speed on importing from Photoshop and
AfterEffects, making motion video menus available, and
looping video and audio. You'll also learn about adding
multilingual menus and subtitles, encoding rules, scripting,
and even placing Easter eggs in a DVD!

By studying this comprehensive, hands-on tutorial, you will
be able to quickly and efficiently develop
professional-looking DVDs studded with special effects
worthy of a Hollywood studio.
