DVD Authoring is the process of creating a DVD that can store video, audio, and other data. This involves organizing the content, designing menus, and setting up navigation so that users can easily access different parts of the disc. To create a DVD, software tools are used to compile the media files and convert them into a format compatible with DVD players. The final product can include features like chapters, subtitles, and special bonus content, making it a versatile medium for distributing films, home videos, or presentations.
