5.0 out of 5 stars The Best DVD Authoring Software....PERIOD!!!!, September 19, 2007

This review is from: Apple DVD Studio Pro 3 [OLDER VERSION] (CD-ROM)

The initial years of my video editing, and DVD authoring, experience were done using PC based software. This DVD authoring software from Apple is hands down the most user friendly, powerful, professional, and even more importantly, easy-to-use one out there. Having labored through extensive session on the PC creating menus, in an environment more suited to an engineer then your average videographer, I can certainly appreciate what's easy and what is not. Making menus is the key highlight of this software for me. On the PC software I was using it was beyond difficult and laborious. Yet Apple has truly simplified this process where it takes little-to-no time to incorporate multiple interactive buttons, menus, all with whatever backgrounds and audio tracks you can think of. The best part is, the finished product looks as good as any professionally produced DVD the studios would use for major motion pictures. The software is truly that good and truly that easy. I can't say enough about what a key ingredient DVD Studio Pro is in the Apple Video editing software category. Make DVD's that look like what the pros make whether you are a beginning videographer or a professional film maker. I wish I hadn't been so ignorant of the power of Apple and Mac in comparison to any PC based video editing sotware, I could have saved years of headaches and been making much, much better end products. If you are even close to being on the fence with buying this software or a competitors, or thinking of venturing from PC to Mac platforms, then I strongly, strongly encourage going for this software and the Mac platform. There quite simply is no substitute.

I was very happy to find an old version of DVD Studio Pro online since I've been wanting an authoring program a lot more flexible than Toast for many months now.

I am glad I didn't have to fight on e-Bay to get this!

Thanks so much for posting the listing in Amazon marketplace.
