Besides the normal formatting of notes and tips in yellow throughout the book, the first chapter shows how to set up all the equipment you will need. The first program needed is Virtual Dub - www.virtualdub.org. This program captures video images and has other useful functions Movie Xone is a program for proper video editing and can be found at www.aist.com. You will now be working in what is known as an animation by dragging different clips onto a storyboard. Add dissolving, text and fonts. Now you need a software program called DeCSS - or De-Content Scrambling System and DVDx is a user-friendly program downloadable at www2.labdv.com/dvdx.Moving files to your hard drive requires SmartRipper and doing an Internet search should provide you with a site where you can download this program. FlaskMPG - www.flaskmpeg.net - will help you convert the information you just put on your hard drive to video CD format. TMPGEnc - www.tmpgenc.com - will convert a movie file into MPEG format for a video CD. And finally, East CD Creator 5 - will actually put your information onto the CD and was the whole point of the book.The price ... is certainly worth the money spent for all the information contained in Create Video CD's.
