How is a DVD made, or authored?
DVD Authoring is a complex process of preparing content, encoding video and audio, and creating the final DVD image. It involves the laying out of multiple audio tracks and a video track, generation of sub-titles, manu pages, parental lock-out features, interactive functions such as program search, time search, seamless play, and pause, and finaly editing of video and audio. Since authoring is always performed along with encoding and disc formating it is the entire DVD pre-mastering process.
