Once the project is planned and all video content is in a finalized form, the video and audio is encoded into Acid DVD system. We use a wide variety of formats including Digital Betacam NTSC and PAL, DVCPRO, Betacam SP, 3/4",1", 8mm, VHS and S-VHS. We pride ourselves at being a leader in converting VHS to DVD movies

Acid DVD encodes the finalized media into crystal clear video and high-quality Dolby Digital and or Dolby surround 5.1 utilizing our Macintosh workstations.

DVDs feature video encoded via the MPEG-2 standard. When encoding a project, Acid DVD uses a process called "variable bit rate" encoding, which allows motion heavy, complex scenes to use higher bit rates, while less complex scenes use lower bit rates. This optimizes the amount of space on a DVD.

DVD uses a number of audio encoding formats, including PCM and MPEG. The most popular though is Dolby Digital (AC3). Dolby Digital features a compression algorithm that delivers CD-quality sound at a lower bit rate. Dolby Digital can supply up to 6 channels of audio. This format, commonly referred to as "5.1 surround" (Left Front, Center, Right Front, Left Rear, Right Rear, and a subwoofer channel), can provide viewers an audio experience similar to being at the movie theater.

The encoded assets are then organized in the DVD authoring program. Then Acid DVD masters the client's project onto a DVD-R or exports to a DLT for replication.
