Customer Reviews

It's a great text, but not for everyone dummy.

It took me a while to see the value in "Making DVD's", and at first, I too only found a few pages of details that I thought were the real gold in the text. However, after reading through the different case studies, this is where the real benefit of this book comes in. These are real-world examples of people just like me that had a dream and a vision, and, by their example, I will be better equipped to make my project a success. Now, if you want to know about the latest gizmo to burn DVD's, or the latest format, or the number of henways per femptome, look somewhere else. Buy a magazine for that. If you want to learn how to capture an event correctly and learn from the examples of others that have gone before, this is for you. Consider this a crash coarse in film making from start to finish.

Making DVDs : Creating and Authoring Your Own

Making DVDs is a well-rounded, informative handbook. It's easy to read and uses a "learn by doing" approach. By following the book's guidelines and suggestions, anyone can succeed in authoring a DVD project confidently. I think the book is a great value. I have two earlier CD-ROM/CD-R/DVD books by this author. He is well versed in the present state of the evolving DVD technology.
