Product Description

Product Description
"Now, creating DVD movies are easier than ever! The all-new TSUNAMI MPEG DVD AUTHOR™ guides users through the process of turning movie clips into fully-functioning video to be viewed on the PC or a DVD player with an easy navigation Wizard. It offers built-in graphic filters and menu animations so even beginners can create professional quality movies. Whether, its video enhancing or chapter creation, DVD AUTHOR provides you the smart and stylish solution to movie making. Moreover, a comprehensive support for multiple audio and video formats makes TSUNAMI MPEG DVD AUTHOR™ one of the most flexible choices. Import video clips from MPEG-1 or 2, AVI, Microsoft®, DVD Video or DVD-VR files; and add audio from MPEG-1 Audio Layer 2, Dolby® Digital (AC-3) or Linear PCM (.wav), or use it for easy editing of materials recorded on a DVR. TSUNAMI MPEG DVD AUTHOR™ creates a finished DVD in standard DVD format, with MPEG-1 Audio Layer 2 or Linear PCM sound that will play on most DVD players, unlike many other DVD authoring products. TSUNAMI MPEG DVD AUTHOR™ runs on a Intel Pentium® III 800 MHz (Pentium 4 recommended) IBM® compatible computer with 256MB of RAM (512MB + recommended) running Windows® 2000 and XP. In addition, due to the nature of large data size of DVD files, a hard disk space of 5GB or more is recommended. DVD AUTHOR is one of the first products in its class with DVD+R Double Layer support, so, for users with the appropriate DVD burner and media, it can create DVDs with up to 8.5GB of DVD video on a single disk."

3.0 out of 5 stars Spend your money wisely, October 23, 2005

By	GAMacky - See all my reviews

This is one of the easiest tool available for simple DVD creation. Having said that, however, this tool lacks many features found in other more expensive tool. If money is one of your concerns in choosing the proper tool, I'd suggest you stay away from this tool. The reason is that Tsunami/TMpg charges fees for every upgrade. So far, I have spent $50 for TDA 1.5, $25 on Dolby Digital audio plug-in, $11 to upgrade to 1.6, and $60 to upgrade to 2.1 for a total of $146 so far. Yet it doesn't have all the features. For the price of one more upgrade, I could've spent the $199 on DVD Lab Pro and got free upgrades. So choose wisely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tsunami DVD Author, October 19, 2005

By	Vitaly (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

I use it for creating DVDs and menus for them from MPEG2 files only. Tsunami encoder produces excellent quality videos, but at a snail slow pace. It gives me everything that I require: split video into chapters, create convenient motion menus and burn DVDs.
The package also includes Tsunami encoder, but it is not advertised on Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great program for beginners., March 8, 2007

By	Shane Tracey "Lepfan84" (Southwest USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After reading reviews on several more expensive programs, I decided to go with this one. It does just what I wanted without a lot of the complicated features, which tend to confuse beginners anyway.
