Creating Source Material

The first part of the DVD creation process is to create or assemble your source material.

This might mean shooting video, recording voice or music tracks, designing graphics to

be included, and planning the general functionality of your project. If you are converting

an existing video program into a DVD, you may only need to gather your original video

and audio material and design graphics for the menus that will weave them together.

You can use whatever tools you prefer for creating your video and audio material, as long

as the resulting files are compatible with the MPEG or H.264 encoder that you plan to

use. In most cases, your video and audio assets will be created and saved as QuickTime

movie files or in standard sound file formats like AIFF, WAVE, or SoundDesigner II.

Your program material should be completely edited, including any special effects, audio

fades, and scene transitions, before you encode it.

Menu graphics can be still image files, multilayer Photoshop files, or full-motion video.

To create the menu graphics, you can use virtually any graphics program. DVD Studio Pro

includes extra support for Adobe Photoshop (PSD) files, taking advantage of Photoshop’s

“layers” feature to simplify the creation of backgrounds and overlays. Also included is

support for the menu loop point you can set in Motion.

If you plan to include alternate-language subtitles in your DVD project, you will want to

have your soundtrack transcribed and translated.

The most important thing you can do when preparing your assets is to use the

highest-quality settings available. Any flaws in your material will be revealed on DVD

much more quickly than in any other medium.

Once they are encoded into a DVD-compliant format, DVD Studio Pro does not improve

or degrade the quality of your source material in any way; if you use high-quality source

materials, you’ll get high-quality results.

Here are some guidelines to help you maintain high quality.

• Capture and edit your video material at the same resolution that you will use on the

DVD (typically 720 x 480 at 29.97 frames per second [fps] for NTSC or 720 x 576 at 25 fps

for PAL for SD-based DVDs).

• When recording and editing audio, use a 48 kilohertz (kHz) sample rate and no

compression. This assures the best quality whether you use the uncompressed audio

on the DVD or decide to use the Compressor AC-3 encoder to compress it.

Important: When creating DVDs, your audio must have either a 48 kHz or 96 kHz sample

rate. You cannot use the 44.1 kHz sample rate found on standard audio CDs. In most

cases, the DVD Studio Pro embedded AIFF encoder will convert your audio to the correct

sample rate if necessary.
