Customer Review: I found the manual to be very helpful and it answered some
questions for me that I had about iMovie that I hadn't found
anywhere else. I didn't like the answers, but it solved a long
ongoing problem I have had with using iMovie 08. The manual is easy
to read and follow, for... more info
Customer Review: Good illustrations but not that easy for a DVD STudio Pro 'Dummy'. I found that I had to go to the Apple DVD Studio Pro manual from the net to work out what to do. Then, after I had a basic understanding, and a few hours of fiddling on the computer,this book came to life for me and was very useful.... more info
Customer Review: I love this book, unreservedly and unabashedly. It's entertaining and informative, and covers the concepts recordists like myself need to know, and skips all the junk recordists like myself haven't any use for. It is concise where it needs to be, in-depth where it needs to be, and explains... more info
Customer Review: Text laid out in dual columns per page with plentiful pictures making concepts easy to understand and very readable. I used this book to create a DVD of my daughter's wedding, and it led me through the process each step of the way. A very good "how-to" guide that contains plenty of tips and the... more info

I thought a DVD would be more useful and enjoyable for him, and tried to make a DVD project - NOT! Having already used The Missing Manual books, I promptly went out and bought this one.... more info
Customer Review: It's a decent book for one of the many CD/DVD media software programs, however the help panels are just as informative. Now if they only wrote a book using Nero 6 Ultra Edition, the field would be widend.
Customer Review: My viewpoint on software books is predicated on my lack of schooling in computer software; with that in mind you know I'm hard to please, especially with a big program like Encore to work with. Howell's book is a general introduction to Encore, and as such misses the point. For example, my interest... more info
Customer Review: The book has many useful tips and ideas, BUT it is not written very clearly and it seems to be an amalgamation of his writing about DVD SP 2 and 3 as well as version 4. The quality of the book also leaves something to be desired. It is all in black and white--which generally is not a problem,... more info
Customer Review: I bought this book in the expectation that I would learn about theories of DVD authoring focusing on techniques and user interface design. DVD authoring is of interest to groups as diverse as wedding videographers and instructional designers. There is a lot of technical detail in the book of the... more info
Customer Review: I was fortunate to attend Macworld in July 2004 in Boston and attend the Mac User conference. Dave Pogue was the seminar leader for the iMovie 4 module. I previously reviewed Pogue's iMovie 2: The Missing Manual. Now, I had the opportunity to see David Pogue in action and to further learn his... more info
