DVD Architect Pro 6.0 - ESD <b>DVD and Blu-ray Disc™ authoring</b>

Experience high-quality, professional disc authoring with DVD Architect™ Pro. Its clean, drag-and-drop interface, powerful layout, and incredible authoring tools make it easy to develop dynamic menu-based Blu-ray Disc™ and DVD projects. Create multi-menu projects with movies, picture slideshows, and music compilations.

<b>Professional DVD layout and design</b>

Author menu-based and single-title DVD and Blu-ray Disc projects using preset backgrounds, motion menus, buttons, and effects. In addition to these presets, you can import your own layered Photoshop® (PSD) files for use as backgrounds, buttons, and graphics. Enable your DVD content to play back in a loop, hold, or time out at the end of a scene.

<b>Easy DVD preview</b>

The Preview window enables you to preview your project on a simulated television screen with a virtual remote control. Use the buttons on the remote control to navigate and playback your project.

<b>36 HD menu templates</b>

Start projects quickly by using one of the available high-definition 16:9 menu templates.

<b>MainConcept Blu-ray Disc™ rendering</b>

Blu-ray render templates for the MainConcept encoder are included. The encoder supports variable bit rates, with maximum bit rate of 40Mbps and average bit rate of 25Mbps.

<b>Includes Dolby Digital Pro Encoder</b>

Encode to stereo or 5.1 surround .AC3 file format with all the flexibility provided by the Dolby Digital® certified Pro encoder.

<b>Disc burning technology</b>

DVD Architect Pro can use the Microsoft Image Mastering API (IMAPI) disc drivers which offer increased drive support and stability while burning DVD and Blu-ray Disc projects.

<b>Buttons on video</b>

Add a button hotspot over video and control its placement, duration, and link. This creates an interactive experience for end users, allowing them to navigate to alternate media related to a specific scene on your disc.

<b>Extensive video and audio support</b>

DVD Architect Pro software supports today's popular video and audio formats such as AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and AVCHD so you can make a DVD or Blu-ray Disc that will play on almost any DVD/BD player or DVD/BD-capable computer.

<b>DVD scripting</b>

DVD Architect Pro software supports the ability to create and run scripts in final DVD designs. With scripting, you can build robust interactivity into your projects.

<b>Keyframes and transformation</b>

Add keyframes to the DVD Architect Pro timeline to animate objects such as buttons and graphics. You can also use keyframes to control pan/crop attributes over time.

<b>Import chapter markers and subtitles</b>

Vegas Pro 12 chapter markers can be imported into DVD Architect Pro software as chapter points for quick scene creation. Apply a name to each region in your Vegas project and then export the names as a text file, which can be imported into DVD Architect Pro software as frame-accurate subtitles.
