Looking for DVD authoring at DVinfo.net

Brian Barkley · June 7th, 2010, 02:21 AM

I am just completing a documentary. Original version = 107 min. and edited version = 60 min. Plus I have 14 Special segments = 90 min. I am thinking a DVD-5 and a DVD-9 might do it, and I am looking for a DVD authoring company, and it can be located anywhere. I think the job is too big and too complex for Encore, especially with the DVD-9.

Does anyone know of a good authoring company?

Encore is one of the best authoring tools, hard to believe it cannot do your documentary.
What is so special about DVD9?
You can make a master and let some company do the printing.

Encore can handle the authoring. Only the problem is the MainConcept MPEG-2 codec. I use Procoder that I can fit 3 hours video to DVD-5 and the quality is amazing.

Encore can also author DVD-DL. I will output as DVD folder, then use ImgBurn to burn the disc. ImgBurn can locate the layer split point. Just to make sure you burn to high quality DVD-DL disc. All the Verbatim DVD-DL works on all DVD player. All the RiData DVD-DL burn and verify fine, but they only play the first layer in many DVD players.
