DVD Authoring

Post by voorheed »

Sup guys, I got a question regarding something I've never done before..

My friend is doing a concert, and I've agreed to film it for him on my camcorder. But I thought I could recruit my buddy so he'd film it too, and be left with a 2 video sources. Thought this would be nice as I could then make a 2 cam-mix of it. I'm also gonna have access to the soundboard mix of the audio, so will need to be able to have software to mix 2 video sources and sync it to soundboard audio.

What will I need to get me on my way? Thanks a LOT in advance! ;)

I think Vegas is good to make a Cam Mix.
You can use TMPGEnc DVD Author for making menus.

I've never done a multi-cam before, but Sony Vegas is the way to go from everything I've read. You can author w/ it too, but if you don't like it's authoring system, like norbinho said, use DVD-Lab. It can be tough to get used to, but it has a very good help page, and has a 30 day free trial.

That's what sucks :shit: At least they have a 30 day free trial. I have actually used it four times; one my PC, my girlfriends, and two of my old roommates B) Once I have to pay the $249 I may not like it so much anymore, LOL.
