Summary:

For my DVD Authoring class final project, I had to make a full DVD. Not just the design, but  also the whole DVD.  I implemented Dual Video Angles, Dual language tracks, a subtitle track and web content access. Using Advanced Video and Audio compression techniques I placed a full anime series volume of four episodes on a single dual layer DVD.

The menu design was a huge difference from the official DVD. Not to say that the official DVD was not good, the plan of mine was to show the viewer what they where going to see in the episodes but at the same time not forcing too much on them. Instead of still images, subtle video was used throughout the menus at the right times. The chapter selection used a unique part of the story that could not in other DVDs as the menu. The chapter selection was my most liked menu of the entire DVD.
