In what ways do iDVD and DVD Studio Pro differ?
iDVD provides the tools to create DVDs containing video and still images with simple menu navigation. Its drag-and-drop ease of use and predesigned themes make iDVD ideal for non-experts who want to get started creating DVD discs right away. DVD Studio Pro is a professional DVD authoring tool. It allows you to create DVD discs that include every feature outlined in the DVD-Video specification, with video, still images, audio, and even web links. DVD Studio Pro is most appropriate for projects that require motion menus, chapter markers, scripting, multiple languages, subtitles, Dolby Digital audio, and other advanced features. When it comes to burning DVD discs, iDVD is designed to work only with Apple DVD-R drives currently available on select Power Mac G4 and iMac (flat panel) configurations. DVD Studio Pro can also be used on select Macintosh computers that don’t have a DVD-R drive by using third-party DVD-R drives. Or you can prepare your files on digital tape or deliver your work on a portable hard drive so a DVD service bureau can create the discs for you.
