DVD Scripting
Monday, February 22nd, 2010The DVD Spec defines a scripting capability, allowing such things as:
- Variable play order
- Random - e.g. for public display - though”random” does not guarantee “different track each time”.
- Inferred from user-input - e.g. questionnaire
- Simple quiz games.
- Passcode-protected content (not secure but at least some kind of disuasive barrier).
Some useful tutorials, doesn’t matter that they are for a specific DVD authoring product:
- Based on DVD Lab
- Based on Apple DVD Studio Pro

Friday, January 8th, 2010This guy, AppleShakeguru, is knowledgable not only in the tools & features but also the practicalities. His style is to first walk thru at pedestrian pace, sometimes fumbling (as any new user might), so the details can come out. Then he runs thru afterwards, so it all clicks together.
