Conventions Used In This Book

Because Adobe Encore DVD often provides multiple methods of performing the same action, this book provides these alternatives when introducing new operations. You may be able to use the main menus, or a right-click contextual menu, or a fly-out palette menu, or a dedicated button or tool in a window.

Menu commands are given in hierarchical order, with an arrow preceding each new appearance of a cascading menu, like this: Image Adjustments Levels. If a menu appears from a palette or dialog menu, the name of the menu or dialog will precede the naming of the command hierarchy.

Menu commands are also available from keyboard shortcuts. Since some of these can be a tad complicated (i.e., Ctrl + Shift + Alt + semicolon), and are conveniently listed in the Encore menus, only the most often-used or less-obvious keyboard shortcuts are discussed in the book.

The following typographical conventions are used in this book:

Plain text

Indicates menu titles, menu options, menu buttons, and keyboard accelerators (such as Alt and Ctrl).

Italic

Indicates new terms, URLs, email addresses, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, directories (folders), and Unix utilities.

Constant width italic

Indicates text that should be replaced by user-supplied values.
