Commercial DVD burning – experts required
I am editing a DVD together in Final Cut Pro 7 and am looking for the best way to burn my material on to a DVD to sell commercially.
I have three hours worth of footage (so may go on to two disks) and will need a more advance chapter menu then iDVD can give me. There are 11 chapters and each chapter has 4 ‘modules within it. I need the viewer to be able to either play and entire chapter (with all the modules in it, running continuously after each other) or be able to select the chapter title and a module within it.
Could someone please tell me what the best software is to burn this DVD? Additionally, how do I ensure that customers can’t burn the DVD for themselves and give it to all their mates!?
Thank you in advance.

Caroline,
I would do it using Apple DVD Studio Pro or Sonic Scenarist SD. Might also be possible with Encore, but this software is a bigger peace of bugs.danny

Any of the main contenders in DVD authoring will be able to do that, Encore/Studio Pro/Scenarist SD, it will be down to the menu design which gives the viewer the various options.
As for Copy Protection on retail DVDs, that was the holy grail which was never really found, all you can say to your client is that your DVD replicator will put on the standard CSS protection.
