DVD Mastering

Bring Your DVD Releases Up to a Higher Level

A widely-distributed DVD product should look and sound as good as it can, and should adhere to strict standards of playback compatibility and internal logic. Its design and architechture should serve content and purpose in the most elegant way possible. Over the past nine years, Modulus has created 100's of well-polished commercial DVD masters for organizations and individuals of all kinds. We've set uncompromising standards for our encoding, menu designs, navigation logic and user interfaces. As a result, our clients trust us with projects that run the gamut from simple autoplay DVDs (for film screenings or promotional use) to complex DVDs for specialized work (eDVDs, time-code triggered exhibits, DVD kiosks, and more!). Each DVD project runs through a rigorous QC/review and client-approval cycle that helps guarantee 100% client satisfaction.

If you've been disappointed with your recent DVD production and want to step up to a higher level please give us a call.

 



OPTIMAL MPEG2 ENCODING
When the material and end use dictates, we create progressive image DVDs that restores the original cadence of the footage, so film-originated projects, even though transferred and edited at 29.97i can be made into gorgeous-looking 24p masters. We use a variety of Hollywood-grade encoding tools and proprietary techniques to help us achieve the best possible image quality. Our DVDs look fantastic in home theaters,  plasma screens, and computers.
SMART BUTTON NAVIGATION
Our DVD masters are a joy to use. 'Smart Button Navigation' gives a disc a memory of a user's selections which ultimately make our DVDs easier to navigate. When possible we adhere to accepted user conventions.

 

WHAT GOOD ADVICE IS WORTH
5.1 audio tracks, audio commentary tracks, widescreen, autoplay video, main menu builds, video looping options, subtitles, play all buttons, slide shows, information screens, DVD-9, or DVD-10, NTSC/PAL versions, progressive video conversion, eDVD, copy protections and region encoding. Which to include in your DVD? Each client has unique needs and we steer our customers towards making smart decisions.

 

TOP-NOTCH PRODUCTION MADE EASY
Our DVD mastering service is supported on one end by a high-ended online post facility and a replication-duplication service on the other - We have to do a better job. Clients find that Modulus DVD projects get completed with fewer phone calls, less shipping, less hassle.

 

UPLOADING MENU ARTWORK
Clients can upload menu artwork files to our server. Artwork files can be either ready-to-author menus, or materials for us to design menus. Please read the Menu Design Guide before creating menu art files. Modulus can design still menus as well as motion menus, an intro/build menu, or menu transitions for you.
