About the Book
U.S DVD sales will top $8.1 billion
in 2002, an increase of over 50%, according to Adams Media Research. DVD
sales this year surpassed video, even though only 30% of households have
DVD players (compared to 90% for VCRs). In August 2002 the New York Times
dubbed DVD “the most successful home entertainment device in history…a
true pop-culture phenomenon.” DVD Demystified has served as DVD’s bible
since the format first shipped in 1997. Demystifying not only basic technology
issues but detailing production and authoring processes, making sense out
of the plethora of battling video, audio, and data formats, and clearly
explaining how DVD standards and specs dovetail or clash with related digital
media standards, this book has not only become DVD’s standard reference,
but also required reading for DVD enthusiasts who wanting to peer behind
the scenes and figure out how to get the most from their technology. Since
then, Jim Taylor has become DVD’s most visible guru, now President of the
DVD Association, author of the internet DVD FAQ, and profiled by E!Online
and DVD Report. This third edition will be almost completely rewritten
to cover the major technology, format, and standard changes of the past
three years, and will once again include a DVD designed to show the extreme
limits of performance of this dynamic technology.
