Design
At Media Image, great design is at the core of what we do –
and our design talent extends to DVD as well. Before any sketches
are developed, we work with the client to determine communications
goals for the DVD project. With these goals in mind, we can
develop a DVD design/interface that balances both aesthetic
and technical needs. |

Encoding
Encoding source material for DVD delivery is done using state
of the art MPEG-2 software compression tools. We can work
from Digi Beta, Beta SP or MiniDV as required for video material.
For source audio, we can create Dolby AC-3 files for surround
formats, including 5.1 as well as stereo tracks. We can remix
surround (typically 5.1) or stereo tracks as required, as
well as producing a fold down stereo mix. |

Authoring
Authoring presents the most complex and least understood of
the DVD production tasks. It is at this stage that all video
and audio ‘assets’ are linked together. Menus are
generated using Adobe Photoshop, multiple camera or audio tracks
are laid out, subtitles are generated and each element of the
DVD is setup. We can also set language, region and copy protection
codes as required. Each project element is stored centrally
on our network, for total recall on future updates as required. |

Replication
The final stage in the DVD production process is creating
your copies for distribution. We can produce DVD-R for very
short run distribution, and DVD-ROM for 500 to 500,000 units
and more. Testing and quality control are paramount, and each
master is tested on multiple workstations before disc duplication
commences. |
