Guru Project :: Services :: DVD Authoring

DVD Authoring is a complex process of preparing content, encoding video and audio, and creating the final DVD image. It involves the laying out of multiple audio tracks and a video track, generation of sub-titles, menu pages, parental lock-out features, interactive functions such as program search, time search, seamless play, and pause, and finally editing of video and audio. Since authoring is always performed along with encoding and disc formatting, it is the final step of the DVD mastering process.

After preparing the different segments of a DVD title, a multiplexing process should link everything together and define the program flow of the DVD title. This final step should specify how each of the media elements will be presented to the user and how the user can interact with the program.

Our design team can develop interactive menus, 2-D & 3-D graphics, video, audio and data, all in accordance with industry specifications.
