Authoring Master DVD Discs for Duplication Requires Advance Planning. It can be Simple or Complex.

DVD authoring can include multiple factors and decisions that define how content navigation will be presented to viewers.

• If on-screen menus are used, will they divide content into titles, chapters or both?
  
  
• Will menus incorporate video frames from content, text or graphical icons?
  
  
• What should text or graphic menus describe or represent?
  
  
• Will discs be interactive?
  
  
• When inserted into a playback device, will DVD menus be displayed first or will content start playing automatically?

These are some of the authoring questions requiring consideration and decisions.

Balancing the needs of video, audio, picture quality and playback time is important to the DVD authoring process. In many cases, the process can result in tradeoffs.

Lighthouse Digital Media can help you decide which authoring alternatives are best for your project. Final decisions can then be incorporated into a DVD master disc that’s ready for duplication.
