In the January issue of “Digital Video” magazine, DVD guru Ralph LaBarge is
taking a close look at five existing, PC/MacOS based MPEG-2 encoding
hardware packages ranging from $5,000 to $40,000. The detailed comparison of
the systems informs you why products like Sonic Solution’s Desktop DVD is
superior to Media Press’ Wired, or why the Minerva Publisher produces even better results
under certain circumstances.
The extensive and comprehensive article also sheds
light on actual MPEG-2 encoding techniques and the technological basics of
this video compression algorithm used on DVD. Take a look at his test in the
“Digital Video Spotlight” and maybe you will be creating your own DVD discs soon.
