I love the LGs. Its a workhorse

What does the client want? There’s Toast and Compressor outputs a Blu Ray. There’s Encore as well. Do they want to replicate? If so you would need to pay someone to do the work unless you’re prepared to spend a substantial amount of money and time will the learning curve.

Nope…just a regular DVD disc. Never used Toast or FCP for BD work so I cant be much help there but it is possible.

You can definitely put a BDMV folder on a DVD-R. This is called a BD-5. It wont play on all players though.

….and can we can the name of the post house in the UK that uses MPEG Stream Clip for all their compression needs so we can not send our work there? If true, that’s so sad beyond words! 🙂

There’s not a stronger authoring package anywhere close to DVDSP (PC or Mac) unless you want to step up to the more high end spec tools. I think someone said that DVDSP has nothing to do with the quality of your streams – thats the job of the encoder. If you need better result you need to learn the finer points of down conversions, encoding and menu design.
As for Compressor, its a great all around swiss army knife but its a crappy MPEG 2 encoder.
If you gave me your streams done on iDVD against what can truly be done with the right knowledge, I’ll pick out your work in a heartbeat. 🙂 Not trying to sound mean, its just the truth.

I dont get it. You shot the wedding…why dont you just give them a DVD of their tapes?

Unfortunately your only choice here would be Do Studio. Do Studio is a fantastic tool but your still looking at initial start up cost of around 5-6K and alot of homework before your title can be ready for replication. Doesn’t make sense with numbers like these to go it alone…do yourself a favor and hire someone who does this kind of work. If you provide your email, Id be more than happy to offer some more advice.

You could do it without reAuthor but I would never want to.

The manual doesn’t go over stuff like that. Technically you could but it would take so long it wouldn’t be worth the effort. For this you would need a copy of ReAuthor to make a new Scenario and add your new streams
