VidCraft can produce many different types of DVD's. From "straight play" to "fully interactive" complete with menu selections, special features, & motion menus. VidCraft takes advantage of the latest technology for encoding video and produces content directly from betacam professional format for optimum clarity and re-production of the final video.
Advantages of DVD
High Quality Video
DVD uses digital technology so the information delivered is exactly the information recorded, with no loss. In addition, DVD supports higher image resolutions. The result is a crisp, clear image without any of the fuzziness of videotape. Your material simply looks better when delivered on DVD.
Random access
Feature length movies are meant to be viewed from end-to-end. But it's a rare audience that views a seminar, wedding video, training session, or home movie from start to finish. With DVD, it's possible to jump instantly to any content at any time.
Permanent storage
It's a fact that videotape deteriorates over time. DVD is an inherently more stable and permanent medium. DVD is now in common use for archival storage, and is not affected by magnetism like video tape.
Interactivity
DVD makes it possible to jump around, to replay a favorite sequence, and to skip material you already know. You can use menus and chapter points to let the viewer decide what to view and when.
Much More
DVD discs can store top quality audio, still images, and other multimedia assets in addition to video. DVDs make it possible to assemble and publish large collections of high-quality multimedia content in an interactive, flexible form, opening the doors for new ideas in every application.
DVD is quickly becoming the new standard for distribution and viewing of video material. The high resolution picture and its interactivity with the viewer allows for a new approach to marketing and training videos.
For example, a tourist information kiosk can now have all written material, image stills, and full screen HQ video at the users finger tips while accessing and browsing a DVD. The DVD can also be played on both home DVD systems and computers. With its quality, size, and ease of use... DVD is definitely the way of the future ! VidCraft will continue to keep up with the fast changing world of technology and offer it many clients the latest in marketing tools to enhance their business outlook
One of our Interactive DVD projects was completed for Gros Morne National Park's - Discovery Centre. The DVD contains several videos explaining the life of caribou within the National Park. Footage was filmed by both VidCraft and Parks staff over a number of years. VidCraft completed the post production for each video and designed and authored the DVD interface for easy access by any age group. All videos were produced in both official languages at VidCraft Studios.
