Book Reviews of Apple Pro Training Series: DVD Studio Pro 4 (3rd Edition)
Book Review: Customizing your DVDs
Summary: 5 Stars
While many experts believe that DVDs are on the way out, they seem to lead a remarkably robust life. For sharing your videos with family and friends, to make a demo reel, to make power-point like presentations, or to have a marketing DVD for your customers at a trade show, DVDs are great. While iDVD and similar programs allow you to use templates to quickly generate decent looking DVDs, the hand-crafted DVD remains more time-consuming. Apple's DVD Studio Pro 4 which is part of the Final Cut Pro Suite allows you to author sophisticated DVDs with videos, slide-shows, even adding .pdf text files. Sitter, Ramseier, Carman and Harrington succeed admirably in teaching the necessary steps to create great DVDs. The lessons are well designed, the media are perfect for the purpose, and the lessons are easy to follow. I found that it usually took me longer to complete the lessons than the authors estimated, but then I'm a little slow. I also like to have a textbook to fall back on to look up things when I get stuck. The online help files are sometimes not as explicit. I found this book to be very helpful.
