John, Your menus are intense. I think you're probably, genius. :p Now I'm only speaking for myself, I doubt most people share my opinion but personally I was looking for something a bit more reserved, elegant, less busy. I don't want the menu to overshadow the production. Have you considered some softer, less dramatic stuff for your product? I bet you're thinking, well why do that, anyone could do the simpler ones on their own. ...ok well I spent all day designing something that probably would have taken you 15 minutes to do from scratch. ha ha Just a thought. Your menus are awesome though. In fact, someone only needs to look at your product page to realize what Encore can really do (if you know how to work around the bugs). I think Adobe should hire you.

Thank you for the compliments. Adobe hasn't made me any offers yet, but I'm not holding my breath.

If you want a more subtle, elegant menu, Butterfly Bliss might be just what you are looking for.

I don't think a lot of people understand what authoring programs in general are capable of. As long as you can use your own custom video background, which all of them do as far as I know, you're only limited by your (or someone else's) imagination and creativity.

My guess is that Apple were hoping that Blu-ray would be a turkey and go away. Sorry to tell them it is not and in a couple of years time, with a large percentage of households owning a blu-ray player, Apple will have missed the boat.

They should especially be worried about Premiere CS5. Adobe has been hyping it very loudly and if it’ll really be as good as they say it will, their would be almost no point to getting Final Cut at all.

This would be like Sony refusing to allow NetFlix on the PS3 but they did the right thing and not be stubborn. I mean, if they didn’t support NetFlix, it would have been one of the most stupid things Sony has ever done. They want as many PS3’s sold as possible and theirs no time to play politics and miss out. Basically if someone wanted to buy a game system and are obsessed with NetFlix and don’t care about Blu-Ray, the chances of them buying a 360 would be much higher. Now that the PS3 is getting NetFlix support, the situation would be different. Never mind the fact that the PS3 finally cost the same as the 360.

Apple should take Sony’s example.
