DVD and Web Distribution
It doesn’t matter how good your postproduction tools are if no one can see the movie.
Once you’ve completed your movie, how are you going to get it to your audience?
Having a plan for distribution in advance is crucial so that viewers see your movie as
soon as possible.

DVD Studio Pro makes it fast and easy to create professional DVDs in a variety of styles.
Every aspect of authoring is customizable, but when you’re in a hurry, you can modify
one of the included template designs to finish your DVDs even faster. Motion projects
can be used as motion menus and Alpha Transitions to allow you to create a custom
DVD project. You can use Compressor to export high-quality MPEG-2 movies from
Final Cut Pro HD, or for special projects requiring more video content, MPEG-1 movies.
A.Pack helps you convert your multichannel audio, such as stereo or 5.1 surround
sound, into compressed, DVD-compliant, Dolby Digital AC-3 audio files. Most new
Power Mac and PowerBook computers include the DVD Player application, which can
be used to test and simulate DVD projects before you commit them to DVD-R discs.

MPEG-1 and MPEG-4 video for online web and Internet delivery. The speed and quality
of Compressor MPEG video rivals the most expensive, high-end hardware
compression systems.
