Simply Excellent!

Just want to share after reading and following the excercises of this book, that it is truly amazing how such a short book (300 pages) can teach you in such a complete manner. It starts from the beginning for the complete novice and takes you from the ground-up to an master level in the DVD production using Adobe Encore. If you have some experience using layers (something pretty basic) with Adobe Photoshop you can integrate both products incredibly. Also experience with Adobe Premiere and After Effects is a plus but not required. Now I can do any kind of custom made DVD with all the bells and whistles (menus, timelines, chapters, subtitles, audio tracks, menu animations and more). I think you can read this book in just a couple of days even doing the practice on your PC with Adobe Encore 1.5. Highly recommended, easy to use, step by step guide and everything is illustrated with details.

This book helped me very much

I began trying to use Encore DVD a week ago. Prior to this, I only put together very simple DVDs with DVDit PE. I used a video training DVD from Total Training to become accustomed to Encore DVD, but when I sat down and tried to put together menus for a friend's DVD, I ran into one problem after another and didn't have the video to help. I had this book, though, and found solutions for each problem very clearly explained. By the end of the afternoon I had menus with moving video in the backgrounds, music, and buttons that linked perfectly. Steve Tomich has done a great job. Books aren't always easy for me to use -- I'm a visual learner -- but this was easy and I highly recommend it for people learning this great program.
