DVDSP 4.1.2 released

Apple just released version 4.1.2 of DVD Studio Pro. This new update focuses mostly on bug fixes as well as addressing compatibility problems with Toshiba HD DVD players. Two big changes include the update in the Cutting Master Format used for professional replication from CMF 1.0 to CMF 2.0 (required for High Definition DVD replication) and Disk Description Protocol from DDP 2.1 to DDP 3.0.

DVD Studio Pro updated to 4.1.1

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.

MacTV has posted Apple's NAB 2006 demo reel which shows off a number of movies and commercials that used Final Cut Studio in their production. This is very well put together, and really shows off the power of Final Cut Studio (as it was designed to do).

Thanks, Cepheus.
