DVD Arch learning material

[Mike Kujbida]

Harry, what are you looking to do?
I posted a rather lengthy response in the DVD scene selection markers as in comm. DVDs thread (apologies for the duplication in it) that may be of some help to you.

Let us know if this isn’t what you want and we’ll do our best to help you out.

I haven’t studied the site yet, just commenting on the part asking what I wanted to do.

I’ve ran into troubles with Adobe Encore on occasion that meant I had to stop the project and investigate that problem until I got things running again.

I want to have a fallback so that when a deadline is looming I have more than 1 authoring tool I have some understanding of.

So I need to wallow in the basics of DVD Architect a bit.

I’ve used Vegas in a similar way many times, but have yet to convert fully to Vegas as my main production tool. I’d like to do something similar with DVD Architect.

Judging from your many helpful and thorough contributions here I suspect the site referred with be just the ticket.

It’s really well detailed stuff.

The part beginning
“If you want to use a picture from the play as the background”

and the following 2-3 paragraphs look to be about the basics even though the main topic is a bit above beginner level.

Then picking up again at:
“Finally, let’s clean it up a bit more.”

Again, this is the stuff I need.

Thanks.

But again I wonder if there is not a fairly well produced Tutorial somewhere that is more an introduction aimed at a new user. But is based on at least a fairly recent version of DVDa.

The only decent training material that I’m aware of is from VASST.
It’s two DVDs called “Getting Started with DVD Architect” and “Going Deeper in DVD Architect”.
Edward Troxel covers the basics in some of the free newsletters on his site.

The thing to keep in mind about any material for DVDA is that, even though it may have been made for an earlier version, the basics remain the same.
Just like in Vegas, some of the menu items get changed around but that’s about it.

Thanks again. I looked at the Newsletter Archive and was surprised to see it is organized in the most non-usable manner possible

There is not a single thing to indicate what a particular newsletter is about. And when clicked on they appear to be simply a collection of threads.

Seems an odd title to call them newsletters.

Hopefully I’m missing a better setup there somewhere?

Click on the “Newsletter Contents Index” link at the top of that page.

Ahh yes, consider my former words eaten

I think I may have found what I was after at this SITE

Working thru that and your thread together looks like it will provide a heck of start.

Thanks again

Wow!!
I had no idea Billyboy’s site was still around 🙂
With his site, Edward’s and the combined “wisdom” of this forum, you’ll be authoring impressive looking DVDs in no time at all !!

Hi Harry,

Your getting great information here at the Cow and it was mentioned earlier, whenever I needed help with anything, this is the place to go. Also, I’m not affiliated with VASST in anyway, but I have purchased tutorials from them and you can follow along using them and capture many tips and tricks.
Here’s their site to cpoy and paste. https://store.vasst.com/store/absolute-training-for-vegas-dvd-pro-bundle-dvd-tutorials.aspx

Harry, here’s another helpful site for you.
