Book Review: What a Fantastic Book
Summary: 5 Stars

I just finished reading this fantastic book. I purchased DVD Architect Studio over a year ago, but never had the time to learn about all of its features. Thank's to this book, I am now familiar with all of the fantastic features of this DVD authoring tool.

As far as DVD authoring tools go, I have only used Sonic My DVD in the distant past, Premiere Elements, and more recently Magic Movie Edit Pro. These DVD authoring tools are part of the video editing packages and have some advantages, but Sony DVD Architect Studio 4.5 has allowed me to produce the best DVD menu I have made so far.

Here are the features I have used:

1. pre-menu introduction video
2. The menu looping feature for each menu, which allowed me to have a small introdutory video for each menu, before the buttons appear.
3. Setting custom colors for the highlihgts of the video
4. I also set a timeout on the main menu to automatically start the video after a fixed period of time.
5. It allows you to select the number of buttons in the sub-menus
6. scene markers are set in the timeline.
6. I also used my own customized background video and sound for each menu.

I designed my pre-menu logo and the menu background video in my video editing software (I use either MAGIX MEP 15 Plus or PRE 7).

I tried the custom highlight shapes as well as the custom buttons in a test video. They are realy cool. It is so easy to make a mask in Photoshop Elements for this purpose.

Yes, the learning curve is high, but the results are as close to a professional video as you can get in a consumer DVD Authoring tool.

You can't beat it and the price is very reasonable.

This book opens the door to DVD Architect Studio. What a great book.
