Re: design tips

You are on the right track to understand that all of the look of your DVD
project is constructed elsewhere.

You use PhotoShop to create your still menus. You use your video editing
program to create motion menus. You can use Illustrator to create elements
that you will use in either one of those. Your video, of course, is edited
outside DVD SP.

Then you encode all those Assets into DVD compliant formats (MPEG 1 or 2 for
Video) (PCM, MPEG or AC-3 for audio) and import them into DVD SP where you
create interactivity between the assets.

One thing to remember before you start. All your videos and graphics must be
720x480, not 640x480. This is required by the DVD spec.

All your audio must be 48kHz sample rate.
