LESSON 21
Authoring DVDs with Adobe Encore CS5
Getting started
DVDs are a tremendous media delivery platform.
Their images and videos are
full-screen (including 16:9 wide-screen), the audio quality is good, and they are
interactive. Simply click a menu button to jump immediately to a video, a scene,
or behind-the-scenes stills.

these interactive DVDs, with all their menus and buttons, used to take
a Hollywood feature-film budget and expensive hardware. With Adobe Premiere
Pro
and Encore, you can create professional-looking DVDs on your computer
in minutes.
Adobe Encore is now included with Adobe Premiere Pro and has a collection of
customizable DVD menu templates with backgrounds and buttons—static or ani-

Adobe Encore CS5 takes DVD authoring much further than previous versions. You
can use Adobe Encore to create standard-definition (SD) DVDs or high-definition
(HD) Blu-ray Discs, and you can even output your DVD project to Flash.

DVDs. Adobe Premiere Pro simplifies the authoring process by allowing you to send
your Timeline to Adobe Encore, which is a full-featured professional authoring tool.
When you author in Adobe Encore, you have two basic options for creating DVDs:
