5.0 out of 5 stars
So glad somebody wrote it!
As a video producer in a small band, I bought this book for one and one reason only: To learn how to use A.Pack. There is no info anywhere on the web that tell you how A.Pack works, but I heard on Apple's DVD list that this book was a good resource for making AC3 files. It is, and it's even better than I imagined. The 600 pages of text hold ideas I've never thought of,...

3.0 out of 5 stars
In a slim field, this is pretty much all there is.
This book was definitely helpful to me; but it didn't expand a whole lot further than the 500+ page manual included with the software. Some additional helpful information on creating appropriate graphics, but I didn't learn a whole lot. I'm waiting for a really good DSP 2.0 book to come out. But until that happens, this is really the best you can do.

As a video producer in a small band, I bought this book for one and one reason only: To learn how to use A.Pack. There is no info anywhere on the web that tell you how A.Pack works, but I heard on Apple's DVD list that this book was a good resource for making AC3 files. It is, and it's even better than I imagined.The 600 pages of text hold ideas I've never thought of, like making sure my menu buttons are placed correctly in the "title-safe zone," or making transitions for my menus. In fact, there's a whole discussion of 4:3 video, drop vs non-drop frame, pixel aspect ratio, GOPs and I-Frames in MPEG video - in many ways this book feels more like a course than a reference manual: I learned a lot about video in general! I also now know what dialog normalization is, and that alone was worth the money. This book will be beside my computer for a while to come!

Lacks some vital information,

In his book ver 1.5 Martin covers scripts and play all buttons. However in ver 2.0 he does not cover scripts in the book but has you go to web for that information. Plus he does not cover scripts with enough information to feel you understand it.Feels like he was rushing to get this book out fast and then decided at last minute he left out vital information. |
