Bring Your DVD Releases Up to a Higher LevelA widely-distributed DVD product needs to adhere to strict standards of image and sound quality, playback compatibility, and internal logic. Its design and architechture should serve the content and purpose of the disc 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, etc). 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 releases and want to step up to a higher level please give us a call.
OPTIMAL MPEG2 ENCODINGWhen the material and end use dictates, we create progressive image DVDs that restores the original cadence of the footage, so film-originated projects end up as 24p and video projects, even though shot at 29.97i can be made into gorgeous-looking progressive masters. We use a variety of Hollywood-grade encoding tools and proprietary techniques to help us achieve the best possible image quality. The resulting masters will look great in home theaters, cinematic projection, and computer playback. As far as the myriad other details: standard vs. widescreen anamorphic, letterboxed vs. pillarboxed, NTSC vs. PAL, DVD-5 or DVD-9 - We'll help advise you to get the best result.
SMART BUTTON NAVIGATIONOur 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. We try to adhere to accepted user conventions.
