So glad somebody wrote it!

As a video producer in a small band, I bought this book for one and one reason only: To learn how to use A.Pack. There is no info anywhere on the web that tell you how A.Pack works, but I heard on Apple's DVD list that this book was a good resource for making AC3 files. It is, and it's even better than I imagined.The 600 pages of text hold ideas I've never thought of, like making sure my menu buttons are placed correctly in the "title-safe zone," or making transitions for my menus. In fact, there's a whole discussion of 4:3 video, drop vs non-drop frame, pixel aspect ratio, GOPs and I-Frames in MPEG video - in many ways this book feels more like a course than a reference manual: I learned a lot about video in general!I also now know what dialog normalization is, and that alone was worth the money. This book will be beside my computer for a while to come!
