  1. Creating DVD's Robert Brown Instructional Technologist NVCC Technical Applications Center rbrown@nvcc.edu

  2. Session Overview This presentation will present the techniques and procedures used to create DVD’s containing interactive multimedia material for college presentations, as well as for home use. Software and hardware considerations for creating such DVD’s will also be explored.

  3. Agenda • Introduction • Definition of DVD Technology • Advantages/Disadvantages of DVD Technology • Description of DVD Projects Produced at NVCC • Hardware Utilized • Software Utilized • Conclusion • Questions/Comments

  4. Definition • DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc. It also is referred to as Digital Video Disc because of its use as delivery system for high-quality digital video. • While a DVD disc is about same physical size as CD disc, storage capacity of DVD disc can be 6 to 7 times greater than CD. • Because DVD disc can store relatively large amount of data, its use as a medium to store and deliver multimedia and digital video material is becoming more widespread and has considerable advantages over CD-ROM’s.

  5. Advantages • Large Storage Capacity • Depending on the type of DVD disc, the storage capacity can be between 4.7 to 16 GB. • Playback Versatility • Materials stored on a DVD disc can be played on a computer, as well as a standard DVD player. • Easy to Produce DVD • Using current software and hardware components, DVD projects are easy to create.

  6. Disadvantages • Multiple Formats • DVD’s come in variety of different formats. For example, there is DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD-ROM, and DVD-RAM. One needs to understand the differences in order to produce a DVD for a specific need. • Playback Incompatibility • Creating a DVD on an Apple computer system may cause some difficulty for that DVD to play on a Windows-Based system depending on the type of DVD drive in the computer.

  7. NVCC Project Example #1 • SACS Project • Was created to provide comprehensive overview of college to SACS committee members. • Because college wanted flexibility in delivery of information, three media formats were used to do so. • Videotape • CD-ROM • DVD

  8. NVCC Project Example #1 • SACS Project • The DVD was mainly created so that the material could be viewed via the computer and/or a home DVD player.

  9. NVCC Project Example #1 • SACS Project • Example of DVD interface

  10. NVCC Project Example #2 • SPD 250 - The Art of Film Course • Students in the course form production groups to create final project videos. • The videos are created using digital video technology and are relatively large in file size. • The videos are then stored on DVD’s because of the disc’s storage capacity and the ease in which videos can be accessed. • DVD discs were made not only for the instructor, but for students as well.

  12. Hardware Considerations • Apple Computer System • Macintosh G4 Computer • 867 MHz Processor • 133 MHz Bus • 768 MB RAM • 72 GB Hard Drive • Super Drive DVD-R/CD-RW Burner • Firewire (IEEE 1394) Inputs

  13. Hardware Considerations • Windows-Based Computer System • Recommend Dell • 1 - 2 GHz Processor • Minimum 512 MB RAM • Minimum 72 GB Hard Drive • Internal/External DVD-R/CD-RW Burner • IEEE 1394 Capture Card

  14. Software Considerations • Apple Computer System • IDVD • Application creates DVD quick and easy using templates. • Adobe Premiere • Application allows for the editing of digital video footage. • Media Cleaner Pro • Application allows for the transcoding of digital video footage. • Peak DV • Application allows for the editing of audio material.

  15. Software Considerations • Windows-Based Computer System • DVD Authoring Software • Some of the better DVD authoring software includes Ulead, DVDit, and ReelDVD. • Adobe Premiere • Application allows for the editing of digital video footage. • Media Cleaner Pro • Application allows for the transcoding of digital video footage. • Sonic Foundry Sound Forge • Application allows for the editing of audio material.

  16. Software Considerations • Other Applications • For Macintosh Computers • DVD Studio Pro (advanced DVD production software) • Final Cut Pro (digital video editing software) • Groove Maker (original music producer) • Storm (sophisticated music/sound producer) • For Windows-Based Computer • Acid (original music producer)

  17. Summary • DVD is extremely versatile delivery system that can surpass a CD-ROM due to its larger storage capacity. • NVCC has found creating DVD’s is an relatively easy endeavor and can be used in a variety of ways. • DVD’s can be created either using an Apple computer system or Windows-Based system. • Hardware and software considerations for creating DVD’s is relatively modest.
