DVD Authoring from VRD

[Itchy]

Not wanting to jump the gun BUT
saw this post: in the STB forum:
Here's what it takes me to do a 1 hr show from Tivo.
1) Download from Tivo the PC ~1 hr. Not much you can do about this since Tivo uses a USB 1 connection. Use lower quality recording to minimize download time.
2) Load the downloaded file into VideoReDo and remove commercials (about 5-10 minutes).
3) Save the File from VideoReDo (about 5-8 minutes).
4) Author to DVD, about 20 minutes using DVDLab. If using new VRD authoring tool (oops not available yet ), you can eliminate step 2.
5) Burn DVD, about 10-15 minutes. Doesn't matter which application you use.

Yea , they're working on it.
And they keep tantalizing us with hints it's coming.
I'm looking forward to doing some beta testing with it, but...
...they're apparently still tinkering with it.
Which isn't surprising. When VRD came out, it was pretty solid.
What they've been doing to to VRD over the last couple of years if polishing and fine tuning the heck out of it. :)
...and adding new features.
I guess Authoring is their latest feature. :rolleyes:

Last I heard, it looked like they were shooting for roll out around the end of the first quarter.
But, I've done project development, and know how they can take more time than expected.
I'd say, "stay tuned", because it's apparently pretty close.
I'm really not in the loop, but let me guess: next month or so?


In the mean time, I continue to run the older version of DVD Labs Pro (1.6).
Don't really need all the features it has, but it gets the job done.

Ain't that the truth!. <grin>

And if you're on the money with that, can I ask you to pick some lottery numbers for me? :D

Guess we're all waiting to try the new features!!!!

Personally, I'm totally disinterested in the feature.

I've been authoring for a good few years, now, and I'm happy with what I'm doing for it.

I suppose if you were new to it, a one-stop approach if you're already editing in VideoReDo - but if you've already got an approach to authoring, it's not something that I could see appealling.

I hope it's like DVDLab and not like TMPGEnc DVD Author
