What You Need To Know About DVD Authoring

By Adriana Noton


Say you have a video that you have recorded or made on your computer, and you want to turn it into a DVD. To do that, you need to use a special process called DVD authoring. DVD authoring is what takes the video from the format that it was originally made with and turns it into a DVD format.

There are many applications out there that can do this sort of task, from the most basic freeware programs to very advanced programs that may cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

What kind of program you should pick depends on what brand of user you are. You might be a family man, taking a video of the kid's latest baseball game or dance performance and putting it on a DVD for the rest of the family to see. Or, you may be a busy professional that needs to convert a business presentation to video for a far-off client. Or perhaps you are an independent filmmaker, eager to get your film to the latest audience.

If you are the first brand of customer, perhaps a cheap or freeware option will serve your needs best. There are several options for this kind of DVD authoring software that do not require much in the way of advanced technical know-how, and can get the job done just right.

Some people, however, will decide to choose an option that allows the entire presentation to look more professional. Someone who is creating a DVD for business, or for creative purposes, will want to look at the most customizable part of one of these programs, the startup menu.

The choice of software will depend on the question of the startup menu quite a bit. Sometimes, you will want to present your film in a very professional, or at least very fancy, fashion. In this case, you will probably devote a lot of time to customizing your startup menu, perhaps even going so far as to create a separate introductory film that plays before you even see the menu.

If this is what you would like to do, perhaps a more expensive kind of program is what you need. These kinds of programs will include advanced features that cheap or free programs simply will not be able to offer. These features can give the quality of professionalism that will fit the standards of a more discerning customer. Independent filmmakers will probably decide to take this option.

A businessperson who is simply recording a presentation to give to new clients, however, will probably not need so many features. The prudent thing to do in that case is simply to find the piece of software that gives you the greatest number of features for the most reasonable price. That will allow you to maximize the performance of the software and still really give your presentation the professional look it deserves!

What you ultimately choose to do will depend on what kind of customer you are and what kind of DVD you eventually will create. Whoever you are, you will be able to find DVD authoring Toronto software that suits your needs.
