It combines the strength of professional-level software with a friendly user interface and simple workflow, making the process of creating professional-quality DVDs quick and easy.

If you are an indie filmmaker, corporate video producer or multimedia developer, ReelDVD will enable you to distribute your video content on DVDs with ultimate compatibility.
ReelDVD is Sonic Solutions' professional quality DVD authoring solution designed specifically for video and corporate applications.
ReelDVD presents all the information at a glance. A storyboard area that shows the flow of the project, a timeline view of a selected video clip/menu, and a simulation window for viewing and testing the navigation/operation of the entire project.

The easy-to-use storyboard editor, in combination with up to 999 menus and video tracks and the freedom to create any type of navigation between them, allows even the novice to easily produce creative and exciting DVD titles. With such an uncluttered view, working within ReelDVD is extremely intuitive. With drag-&-drop operation and the right-mouse context menu, you hardly need to touch the keyboard at all!

Creating navigation command link in ReelDVD is as easy as it can be. To link a menu to a video, simply drag-and-drop - it's totally visual! Unlike other entry-level DVD authoring software, ReelDVD does not limit the number of menus and video you can have in your project. What's more, ReelDVD gives you complete freedom to establish navigation links between them, thereby allowing the creation of highly complex and sophisticated DVD titles.

One of the best features of DVD is it's ability to present multiple audio and subtitles. In ReelDVD, you can have up to 3 audio and 3 subtitle streams, thus giving the viewers up to 9 different audio/subtitle combinations to choose from! Corporate videos, educational/instructional titles, production showreels can now be authored in one ReelDVD project and reach out to differrent language groups.

In ReelDVD, all your menus can be made into motion menus. Still menus are fine but they can be mundane - jazz up your menus with high quality MPEG2 video background and add a surround audio stream to it for maximum impact. Together with the unlimited number of menus available, your presentation will be able to engage the audience and captivate them throughout like never before!

Reel DVD Product Features

Check out Videoguys' exclusive interview with Mark Ely, General Manager for Sonic Solutions' Consumer Products Group. Sonic is the industry's leading provider of DVD authoring solutions.

Videoguy : I'm glad you mentioned ReelDVD. While DVDit! PE is great, we have seen that some of our customers really want the more advanced features you can get in Reel DVD. While DVDit! has become the prosumer's authoring tool of choice, our more professional customers are upgrading to ReelDVD. Can you tell us why?

Mark: ReelDVD is the next step beyond DVDit! and introduces a new level of flexibility – as well as power – for professional videographers. Some of ReelDVD's many advantages are multiple audio streams, multiple subtitle streams, motion video menu support and slideshow support. ReelDVD also introduces the notion of a project flow-chart. With this flowchart overview, DVD authors can design complex DVD titles.

ReelDVD Frequently Asked Questions

Which CD, DVD and DLT devices does ReelDVD work with?
As of version 3.0.3, ReelDVD supports the most currently available CD-recordable, DVD-recordable, and DLT drives. Many of these newer devices can write to the latest DVD media, including DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVD+R (in addition to DVD-R, DVD-RAM, CD-R, CD-RW and DLT tape). Click here for a full list of supported devices and media.

Why are DVD discs formatted with ReelDVD more compatible than if they were made with competing systems?
ReelDVD uses the same multiplexing engine as Sonic Scenarist. The unique way in which this engine arranges the data on the DVD disc has proved itself for over six years to produce the widest range of compatibility across the full spectrum of available DVD players. To the user, the multiplexing process, where all the video, audio and menus are compiled into a finished DVD, is just another progress bar, but in fact, the exact way in which this is done can have a large effect on DVD player performance and compatibility.

What does the advanced navigation feature in ReelDVD allow you to do?
Most all DVD authoring applications allow a user to link a button from a menu to initiate playback of a section of video. The advanced navigation in ReelDVD allows you to take this one stage further; menus can actually be superimposed over the video, to facilitate the authoring of truly interactive presentations. For example, you could have a menu pop up over a video clip of a man aiming a gun at someone, and the menu could say "Do you want to save the villain? If so, press enter on the remote." You could then program the enter button to transition to a separate version of the ending where the gunman would be distracted, and the villain would live.
