  Planning Your DVD Project The process of planning the layout and content of your DVD, then capturing, editing, and formatting the audio and video media, is called authoring. This chapter briefly highlights video format and compression considerations, which can affect the length of your video; for example, a lower compression level results in a larger video file.

• Page 29: Organization

  There are several considerations when planning how to use the space on your DVD: DVD play time — how many minutes of video material you want to include in your DVD. For example, if you plan to create DVDs from the many home movies you’ve recorded over the years, you need to plan how to lay them out across multiple DVDs thematically (e.g.

  When significant editing is done, a project whose underlying video files are DV may better preserve video quality than one whose underlying videos were captured in MPEG. To appreciate this, imagine a compressed frame of video you have captured, upon which you would like to overlay a title. In order to render such a frame for output to a DVD, the original frame needs to be decompressed from its stored form (MPEG or DV) into raw video, the graphics of the title need to be composited or blended with the graphics of the frame, then it needs to be…
