From DV videotape to DVD: Tips on getting from here to there
Despite the fact that vast majority of the projects we produce are destined for the world wide web, a number of them still need to go to DVD. And the DVD option is getting even more interesting now that we’re starting to produce Blu-Ray discs with stunning-quality high-definition video.
Our friends over at Discmakers, the folks who make the DVD duplicating equipment we use at DigiNovations, have put out a valuable tip sheet containing a lot of the things you’ll want to think about as you’re preparing to bring your project to a creative shop like ours to turn into an engaging, spectacular DVD. As they point out:
From the time your independent film is in the can, your post-production efforts are likely to include thoughts of DVD, whether your output is a feature film, documentary, training course, marketing infomercial, or animated short. Though you may have mastered the intricacies and challenges of set lighting, lenses, audio capture, and non-linear editing, getting your work onto DVD requires attention to some technical considerations that may be unfamiliar to you.
So if your project is destined for DVD — and especially if you want a creatively-authored DVD that looks like a Hollywood hit — then click on “From DV to DVD: Tips for Getting Outstanding Results”. And feel free to ask us about any questions you might have.
