Apple updates DVD Studio Pro
Apple’s DVD Studio Pro allows users to create DVD Masters to send out to production houses. Its tight integration with the other Apple Studio Apps makes it a very favorable choice for Studio Professionals. The defining feature of Apple’s DVD Studio, ease of use and versatility not withstanding, is its ability to take raw Final Cut and Motion Projects and render them in DVD format without encoding into an Intermediary format. This allows Creative Professionals to streamline their workflow, and it allows them to operate with less overhead.
In April 2005, Apple Computer updated its version of DVD Studio Pro to support authoring HD content. DVD Studio Pro allows for the burning of HD-DVD content to both standard DVD’s and HD-DVD media (even though no burners are available). For playing back HD-DVDs burnt onto a standard DVD, Apple requires a PowerPC G5, Apple DVD Player v4.6, and Mac OS X v10.4 or later.
The company has just updated this fantastic software. The new version of the DVD creation tool for professionals “addresses isolated stability issuesâ€, according to Apple. Some of the important changes in this update are: font size in PAL templates, menu duplication when Text Objects are active, simulation of long PAL MPEG2 stream with MP3 audio, and an isolated issue involving recognition of certain media.
Latest system requirements as per the company:
Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later, DVD Studio Pro 4.0 or 4.0.1 and QuickTime 7.0 or later. General requirements for DVD Studio Pro 4 also call for a G4/733MHz or faster, 8MB VRAM, 512MB RAM and AGP Quartz Extreme-compatible graphics card.
