I shoot a lot of movies for stuff and i want to start to make dvds with the most professional software and equipment. Can anybody Help me? I sometimes will only need a few copies but i would also need to be able to produce over 500+ copies as well. I need to know what is the most professional software, hardware, etc. to get this started. Money is NOT an object.
Money may not be an object but information is. You need to provide more detailed information as to what you are trying to achieve and with what equipment and end purpose etc. Your current post is very uninformative and is unlikely to generate any response without more detailed information.
Best stuff is from SONY. Get SONY 'Vegas' for doing your video. It can take all your filmed stuff, add titles, effects, subtitles, it's really amazing. Then it will render it to an .AVI format to fit a DVD. * Then get SONY 'DVD Architect'. It will take that .avi file and render it to DVD writable disc. It will add chapters, titles, and menus. The menu portion of this program is awesome. You can do one film or multiples and create a menu. It also allows you to adjust the compression rate depending on file size to adjust for quality. It's flexible and when the writable discs get bigger you can tell it what size you are dealing with. You can also add different audio streams to your video if you want. You can import a music soundtrack in .mp3 or .wav format to your video. Both of these are valuable tools and SONY will allow you to upgrade to new versions.
This is professional stuff. Go to the SONY website and check it out. http://mediasoftware.sonypictures.com/products/vegasfamily.asp http://mediasoftware.sonypictures.com/products/showproduct.asp?PID=912
