Professionally distributed DVDs will all have some sort of main menu and sub menu options through which you can select what you intend to view. This is added to the DVD as an easy way to browse the files. The MPEG-2 encoding or audio can be accessed by selecting the different options in this menu. The process of adding graphics, interactive content, digital surround sound, subtitling or closed captioning to the DVD is known as DVD authoring. The interactive indexes separate the content into a list of chapters (often used to designate separate sequences or aspects of a project). Without the DVD process you'll be stuck watching the files start to finish linearly. By having options available for browsing, the viewer is given more control of the experience. This includes but is not limited to scene selection, subtitles, closed captioning options for the hearing impaired, and sound setting adjustments such as 5.1 surround sound or Dolby digital audio tracks. In the DVD authoring process, copyguard protection can also be applied to the DVD master to prevent piracy. It can be set to prevent file theft with copyguard protection. Content owners can be confident that their shared material will be protected from piracy. Region encoding for NTSC and PAL format players makes the distribution range wider and expands the scope of viewers. Additionally, DVD authoring allows for galleries of bonus materials for storyboards, artwork, interviews, and more. This is extra value for the content owner and gives insight of the project to the viewer. It makes the exhibition of the work professional, succinct, and easy-to-access. Having a post production company tailor the DVD authoring for you guarantees a professional look. DVDs can be duplicated in small quantities on recordable discs and can be replicated onto DVD-5, DVD-9, or DVD-10 for large-scale jobs. Professionals will ensure that no errors occur in the final product and provide a lightning-fast turnaround. You can even ask for customized booklets and case inserts, cases, and packaging. In some cases you can get the post production company to distribute the material to national and international outlets. This media service truly makes your work shine. Sending the work to a post-production house ensures efficiency, security, and professional quality. After all this, you will be glad you did because you will be so proud of your finished product and will want it sent out.
