DVD Studio Pro updated to 4.1.1

by Laurie A. Duncan (RSS feed) on Oct 26th, 2006

Apple has released DVD Studio Pro 4.1.1 which addresses "an issue with disc layout for DDP and CMF images on Intel-based Macintosh computers." For the acronym challenged, that's Disc Description Protocol, which identifies and describes collections of data that will be recorded onto a High Density (HD), DVD or CD optical discs and Cutting Master Format, a derivative of DDP. Yes, I looked it up. The update is recommended for all users of DVD Studio Pro 4.1 and later and weighs in at a paltry 2.3MB.
