Design-centric Approach
Design dynamic DVDs with the extensive set of built-in tools. Create and modify text, menu layouts and titles - all in the same application.

• Automatic Scene Detection
  Choose from a variety of options for setting scenes or chapters.
• Integrated Set of Creative Tools
  Design compelling composited menus with text, borders and buttons. Add motion menus and buttons with image masks and objects with
  gradient transparency - all without leaving the application.
• Extensive Import Options
  Import single or multi-layered images such as PSD and UFO files, as well as GIF animations and video clips.
• PowerMenus™
  Choose from three levels of menu design. Select 'Wizard' for automated design, 'Template' for selecting theme-based menus, and
  'Blank' for creating menus from scratch.
• Layout Guides
  Position elements accurately, using layout guides and grids as well as alignment commands.
• Text Effects
  Make titles and captions stand out with dynamic effects such as bevel, 3D, and warp by simply dragging and dropping the effects to the text.
• Creative Button Options
  Create unique buttons with a variety of irregular shaped masks. Rotate buttons with images or video content.
• Invisible Buttons
  Make buttons invisible or program a highlight image to appear when navigated over.
• Set Loop Cues
  Set a motion menu to loop at a specific point, allowing the ability to have an intro section that does not repeat when looped.

Professional Technology
Add multiple subtitle and audio tracks. Import assets from a variety of formats and output to DVD.

• Multiple Subtitle & Audio Tracks
  Create up to 2 subtitle tracks for alternate languages, instructions, and creative messaging and up to 2 audio tracks for alternate languages, commentaries, and customized audio tracks.g.
• Subtitle Editor
  Type subtitles into a preview window or directly onto the subtitle track. Edit text and apply custom attributes, borders, backgrounds
  and screen positions.
• Subtitle Import & Export
  Save time creating subtitle tracks by importing or exporting text files with timecode and attribute information.
• Audio Volume Control
  Ensure consistent audio levels throughout your DVD title. Avoid audio level fluctuations between menus, movies, slideshows and audio tracks.
• Language Coding
  Assign a language code to different subtitle or audio tracks. Selected tracks will become the default setting according to a DVD
  player's language setup.
• Widescreen Support
  Import, preview and output 16:9 widescreen format files.
• Full Video Format Support
  Capture and encode the popular DV/AVI, MPEG or analog formats.
• Import Video from Disc
  Capture from analog, DV or MicroMV sources and transcode to MPEG on-the-fly or before burning. Import from sources including DVDs,
  WMV and Quicktime.
• MPEG-Direct™
  Save time and disk space by capturing directly from any source, including DV, to MPEG 2 or MPEG 1.
• MPEG.Now™
  Transcode video formats to Ulead's MPEG codec, delivering superb-quality video, audio and images.
• SmartRender™
  Multiple formats can be mixed in the same project, and some elements can be selected to be burned on the disc without conversion, to avoid quality loss.
• Scaleable Architecture
  Deliver fast encoding to high-quality MPEG format. The MPEG encoding engine is multi-threaded to take full advantage of Intel
  Hyper-Threading as well as dual processor systems.
• Instant Burning
  Save hard drive space by burning directly to DVD, or create an ISO disc image to use later.
