DVD Authoring is process of collecting various content assets such as video, audio, photographs, subtitles, and menus, connecting them together and burning them to a master dvd disc. The assets themselves are generated in a variety of applications such as video editing, post-production, image editing and subtitling. They are then compiled in a DVD authoring application such as Ulead DVD Movie Factory on PC or DVD Studio Pro on Mac. The process of authoring is very much like building a website. The menu screen on a DVD is analgous to homepage of a website in that it contains links to all content on DVD. Menu screens usually link to main feature, chapters within feature, additional scenes not contained in feature, photographic slideshows, and additional audio content. The main menu screen can also contain links to sub-menus, which helps avoid cluttering main menu with too many options. In addition to setting up menu selections on main menu, DVD authoring application allows producer to set-up additional features such as subtitles. Within authoring application, each item is given metaphor of a container. A container can hold any type of supported content and is linked to a menu selection, either on main menu or a sub-menu.
