Ron Miller|Videographers sound off on the pros and cons of shooting in 24p.
In Director MX 2004, Macromedia has made some major improvements to Director with DVD support, JavaScript, tighter integration with Flash, and a host of other enhancements. This is a major upgrade, and one that is definitely worth considering.
NTI has put together an attractively priced, well-integrated, powerful set of tools with an easy-to-use interface, and they should be applauded for that. But with no DVD movie-making functionality, NTI may have a hard time competing in a market where the other main players have DVD authoring built-in.
Synopsis: With Nero 6, Ahead has attempted to make their product friendlier for mainstream users, but hasn’t always succeeded in their implementations of consumer-oriented interface changes. Nero remains a solid package for CD and DVD recording with a tremendous (and much-expanded) wealth of features, and packs plenty of power for those users who want it. But it’s hard to be all things to all people, and if Ahead is determined to make Nero the tool of choice for consumers and power-users alike, they need to find ways to integrate the two identities more cleanly.
