DVD Authoring

FATS Digital provides a complete DVD Authoring solution taking your project from concept to completion. Being involved in the Broadcast Industry the transition to DVD Authoring was natural for us. We have been authoring DVD since its inception. Coupled with our graphic design, video editing, audio facilities and multimedia expertise, FATS Digital is now established as one of Australia’s premiere DVD authoring studios.

DVD Authoring is the process of bringing all the Digital Assets together (Video, Audio, Menus etc) and programming the links and interactivity of the DVD. The authoring process allows users to navigate a DVD and access various segments within the DVD. Compliance with the DVD specification is paramount.
