DVD Production

Preface

 

 

 

Since its introduction in the autumn of 1996, DVD has been growing at an astronomical rate. By far the most successful launch ever of a consumer electronics format, the adoption of DVD has outpaced that of CD, VHS, and LaserDisc. At the same time, the format is on-target to surpass the Compact Disc as the dominant optical storage format on new personal computing platforms by 2002. With its unique ability to bridge the consumer electronics and computing industries, DVD will become the standard physical delivery medium for digital video, audio and data. Additionally, DVD’s ability to integrate with the Internet will enable powerful synergy between the rich media experience of DVD and the immediacy and interactivity of the Web.
