The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 4.5
Sony DVD Architect is software for professional DVD disks creation. It’s a great toolkit for creative DVD menu development and DVD-authoring at your home computer. This is a professional program and can work as a part of Sony Vegas and as a standalone application. It has easy and comprehensible interface, and no doubt, that it is highly competitive with Sonic Scenarist program. Its clean, drag-and-drop interface and powerful layout and authoring tools make it easy to develop dynamic menu-based DVDs, movies, picture slideshows, and music compilations, multimedia photo albums with excellent menu, extra resources and your own sound track. With Sony DVD Architect you can create your own video film and record it on DVD. You can make your movies play in either 4:3 fullscreen or 16:9 widescreen, NTSC or PAL formats, and add behind-the-scenes, bloopers, outtakes, and more. Before you make it official, use the virtual remote function to see how your project will play on a television and function in the DVD player. DVD Architect Studio 4.5 gives you 44 stylish backgrounds with eye-catching menu buttons to choose from. You can personalize it even more by importing your own images, graphics, and music. Place your menu text, graphics, and buttons where you like, and use effects like blur and shadow to enhance them even more.
The program has MPEG and colorplexer and can use initial media files of various formats. However, as Sony DVD Architect was developed to work with Sony Vegas, and its own encoding settings are not so rich. So, it’s more convenient to use Sony Vegas to prepare compatible video and sound tracks. Sony DVD Architect supports a lot of image, video and audio formats. |
