It takes you step-by-step through the authoring process of importing media files (assets), creating movies, slideshows, and menus, adding links between the content, setting playback order, simulation, and burning to disc. The tutorial takes approximately two hours and provides an opportunity to use many of the features in DVDit Pro. During the tutorial, you may occasionally be referred to the DVDit Pro User Guide, which provides a complete description of the features in the program. The rest of this chapter includes the following introductory sections: • “About the tutorial project” on page 6 • “The tutorial workflow” on page 7 6 Chapter 1, Introduction About the tutorial project The completed tutorial project will consist of a movie, slideshow and two menus: Main menu Contains an image background and three text objects that link to the Boeing movie, Scenes menu, and Airplanes slideshow. The Main menu will be set to First Play, which means it will automatically play when the disc is inserted into the DVD player. Boeing movie Contains video, audio, and three chapter points. When the movie finishes playing, it will link back to the Main menu. Scenes menu Contains an image background, three button frames that link to the chapters in the Boeing movie, and a navigation button that links back to the Main menu. The Scenes menu will be assigned to the TITLE button for the Boeing movie, so the viewer will be able to jump to it by pressing the TITLE button on the DVD remote control during playback of the movie. Airplanes slideshow Contains four still images, each displayed for 10 seconds, and an audio track. When the slideshow finishes playing, it will link back to the Main menu.

  • Optimizing the Implementation of Dolby Digital Plus in Soc Designs
    White Paper Optimizing the Implementation of Dolby Digital Plus in SoC Designs Chris Cavigioli and Brett Miller, MIPS Technologies Roger Dressler and Rob Hislop, Dolby Laboratories January 2007 MIPS Technologies and Dolby Laboratories have collaborated to provide a rapid and low-risk methodology for deploying Dolby Digital Plus technology to the set-top box and HD DVD/Blu-ray Disc markets. Introduction Dolby® Digital Plus, the newest generation of Dolby Digital, the standard-setting audio technology from Dolby Laboratories, is making its way into next-generation home entertainment applications, bringing superior sound quality, more efficient audio compression, and an improved user experience to the home. Dolby Digital Plus, also known as Enhanced AC-3 (E-AC-3), was developed to address the changing requirements of two burgeoning consumer markets. For the emerging HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc optical disc players, the data compression capabilities of Dolby Digital Plus allow movie studios to combine a superior audio experience with high-definition video. The technology also enhances the latest digital TV set-top boxes (STBs), enabling broadcasters to deploy offerings with lower bit rates, reducing costs and adding flexibility and value for consumers. While there are tremendous advantages to using Dolby Digital Plus, there are also design considerations that system-on-a-chip (SoC) teams need to understand. The rigorous approval testing that is required at Dolby Laboratories before a chip or a system can use the Dolby Digital Plus logo is substantial. Working with Dolby Laboratories, MIPS Technologies has developed an optimized, tested version of Dolby Digital Plus that will run on any of its 32-bit synthesizable processor cores—significantly slashing audio subsystem development time.

  • Frequently Asked Questions Dolby Digital Plus
    Frequently Asked Questions Dolby® Digital Plus redefines the home theater surround experience for new formats like high-definition video discs. What is Dolby Digital Plus? Dolby® Digital Plus is Dolby’s new-generation multichannel audio technology developed to enhance the premium experience of high-definition media. Built on industry-standard Dolby Digital technology, Dolby Digital Plus as implemented in Blu-ray Disc™ features more channels, less compression, and higher data rates for a warmer, richer, more compelling audio experience than you get from standard-definition DVDs. What other applications are there for Dolby Digital Plus? The advanced spectral coding efficiencies of Dolby Digital Plus enable content producers to deliver high-resolution multichannel soundtracks at lower bit rates than with Dolby Digital. This makes it ideal for emerging bandwidth-critical applications including cable, IPTV, IP streaming, and satellite (DBS) and terrestrial broadcast. Dolby Digital Plus is also a preferred medium for delivering BonusView (Profile 1.1) and BD-Live™ (Profile 2.0) interactive audio content on Blu-ray Disc. Delivering higher quality and more channels at higher bit rates, plus greater efficiency at lower bit rates, Dolby Digital Plus has the flexibility to fulfill the needs of new content delivery formats for years to come. Is Dolby Digital Plus content backward-compatible? Because Dolby Digital Plus is built on core Dolby Digital technologies, content that is encoded with Dolby Digital Plus is fully compatible with the millions of existing home theaters and playback systems worldwide equipped for Dolby Digital playback. Dolby Digital Plus soundtracks are easily converted to a 640 kbps Dolby Digital signal without decoding and reencoding, for output via S/PDIF.

  • Movie Tags & Meaning of It
    Movie Tags & meaning of it Original Sources CAM - A cam is a theater rip usually done with a digital video camera. A mini tripod is sometimes used, but a lot of the time this wont be possible, so the camera make shake. Also seating placement isn't always idle, and it might be filmed from an angle. If cropped properly, this is hard to tell unless there's text on the screen, but a lot of times these are left with triangular borders on the top and bottom of the screen. Sound is taken from the onboard microphone of the camera, and especially in comedies, laughter can often be heard during the film. Due to these factors picture and sound quality are usually quite poor, but sometimes we're lucky, and the theater will be fairly empty and a fairly clear signal will be heard. TELESYNC (TS) - A telesync is the same spec as a CAM except it uses an external audio source (most likely an audio jack in the chair for hard of hearing people). A direct audio source does not ensure a good quality audio source, as a lot of background noise can interfere. A lot of the times a telesync is filmed in an empty cinema or from the projection booth with a professional camera, giving a better picture quality. Quality ranges drastically, check the sample before downloading the full release. A high percentage of Telesyncs are CAMs that have been mislabeled. TELECINE (TC) - A telecine machine copies the film digitally from the reels. Sound and picture should be very good, but due to the equipment involved and cost telecines are fairly uncommon.
