DVD Authoring is a Profit Center that goes a giant step beyond simple DVD transfers. You can provide this service for businesses, organizations, and individuals - the same customers who come to you for simple transfers.

When you transfer tapes to DVD, you can suggest to your customers that they go the extra step and let you create a DVD with chapters, arranged chronologically or by event. Your customers will be able to access these chapters with the touch of a button. They get convenience; you gain income.

Just as you see on commercially released movies, authoring involves adding these "chapters" and other helpful program facilitation to the DVD for the viewer. Some of our owners really get into the intense authoring with chapter markers, custom layouts with motion backgrounds, elaborate menus, and so forth.

DVD authoring for businesses and professional uses can be extremely profitable. Rather than using the word "authoring," for individuals, we use the term "DVD Deluxe!" - it is easier for individuals to remember and understand. HVS offers specialized training in both basic and advanced DVD authoring.
