Precision Transfer is proud to support the television production community with the ability to provide broadcast quality DVD authoring for the conversion of their video projects to DVD format.
DVD mastering is available in both the NTSC and PAL video formats. We are able to encode from any master tape format, however digital master formats are highly recommended as they provide better quality MPEG-2 encoding. Encoding is available in full D-1 720 x 480 resolution or ½D-1 formats of 352 x 480 with bit rates from 2 to 9.8 Mb/s. We have the ability to provide still or motion menus and up to 98 sub-menus with as many as 25 buttons per menu. We can also program up to 8 audio streams, 9 video angles, 32 subtitle tracks, closed captioning and 99 chapter points while still being compatible with all standard remote control features.
Our DVD authoring process supports PCM WAV, MPEG-2, and AC3 (Dolby Digital) sound featuring mono, stereo, 3 channel and full 5.1 surround. As well, we can make DVDs in both the 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. We are also able to provide you with authoring and general media DVD-R masters for DVD-5 format and DLT Masters for all DVD-5, DVD-9, DVD-10 and DVD-18 replication. We can replicate DVDs either by burning or pressing the copies.
