Lesson 1. Touring and Trying out Encore DVD 2.0 - Encore DVD 2.0 is the culmination of your digital video production process. DVDs are the media that allow you to present your assets in their best light and Encore DVD 2.0 gives you the tools you need to fully exploit all the possibilities DVDs offer. This lesson outlines the Encore DVD authoring process and gives you a taste of what Encore DVD 2.0 can do.

Lesson 2. Importing Assets and Creating DVD Elements - Before you can start building your project, you need to import and assemble its assets. Once you've added them to your project, you can organize them into file folders in the Project panel. You will convert some of those assets into DVD elements such as timelines and slideshows.

Lesson 3. Advanced Timeline Topics - There's plenty to do in the Timeline Viewer. You can string together multiple videos, audio clips, and still images, and do some basic editing. Encore DVD gives your projects up to eight audio tracks. You can import or create up to 32 subtitle tracks and add closed captions. Encore DVD lets you place those subtitles anywhere on the screen and apply appearance attributes to them.

Lesson 4. Building and Editing Menus - Menus have form and function. They are the face of your project and the means to navigate to its assets. Encore DVD offers several methods for creating menus. You can choose from numerous menu templates, assemble your menus by selecting graphic elements from a huge library of assets, or build them from scratch using [url=http://www.ebook-x.com/photoshop-cs3-restoration-and-retouching-bible.html]Photoshop CS[/url].

Lesson 5. Advanced Menu Editing Techniques - There's much more to menus than static backgrounds and buttons. Menus can have video backgrounds, audio, and animated buttons. Button highlights can be different shapes and colors. Use Photoshop CS to create custom menus, and After Effects to put your buttons and other menu [url=http://www.ebook-x.com/free-graphics-design-ebooks/]graphics[/url] in motion.

Lesson 6. Specifying NavigationSetting and Managing Links - With your menus laid out, your task now is to create links. You will connect buttons to menus, timelines, slideshows, and subtitle and audio tracks. In addition you'll choose the order in which buttons display in a menu, give buttons and assets special features like end actions and overrides, and determine what will happen when viewers press the Menu and Title buttons on their remote controls.

Lesson 7. Advanced Authoring Tools - Encore DVD 2.0 offers some extra features that allow you to further customize your DVD's performance. You can use replacement layers to give your menu templates a personalized look, use videos as transitions between menus and other assets, hide "Easter eggs" in your DVDs, use playlists to efficiently repurpose assets in multiple ways, work with widescreen menus and assets, and set user operations regarding which remote control buttons are available for use at any given time.

Then you'll transcode all assets into MPEG files, making adjustments in the levels of compression to ensure everything fits on the DVD type you choose. You can set regional codes and copy protection levels, as well as add DV[img]images/smilies/tongue_smilie.gif[/img]ROM data files to your finished DVD.
