I'd agree with encore for dvd authoring. The new one loses some of those awful bugs, like chapter stops being only within something like 12 frames of accuracy. The new adobe stuff (Premiere Pro 1.5, encore 1.5) is pretty impressive. Premiere is actually a damn good program now. Avid has been pissing me off lately, so I did a few small pieces in premiere, and it was not as painful as I remember it used to be. SO, now my question, anyone that did dvds/vcds for "the work" "white room" etc... if you did it from a vhs, what steps of capturing, encoding, etc did you use to get into mpeg2? welcome to the KLF video forum. ecna TheMgnt@aol.com wrote:

Can someone tell me a few good titles to get for some great, topnotch, DVD authoring software

Authoring or editing? Two different things.

For movie editing etc I use Ulead Media Studio Pro. I found it almost immediately intuitive, but I have analog video editing experience so that might color my opinion. But I let my neighbor edit something on her own on it and she picked it up right away after a few pointers.

For authoring I've been using Adobe Encore. It's a little monsterous but I found it gave me absolute and total control over the DVD menu system, etc. I originally tried it because it allowed subtitles and multiple audio tracks but when I abandoned those ideas for my project I stuck with it. It can take a long time to get things right, I've found, while some other more wizard based programs like Ulead DVD Workshop are quick and easy. You just don't have the control you might like.
