The Desk Top Video Handbook On Line ver 13.1
DVD Cookbook On Line ver 2.0 - On Line DVD Resources

When I was putting together the DVD Cookbook I used these excellent on line resources for information. What I liked best about the sites I have included is they are very well organized and include tons of links to additional sites and data.

I included direct links to several very informative white papers. These tend to be a bit on the technical side, but if you can get through it you'll be rewarded with an insiders view of this emerging technology. If you have a favorite on-line resource for DVD information that is not listed here, email me videoguy@videoguys.com and I'll check it out
