DVD Demystified

PREFACE
To my surprise, the first edition of DVD Demystified quickly became the
bible of the industry. I’m profoundly gratified that it has helped so many
people understand DVD technology, and I appreciate everyone who has
taken the time to send e-mail or tell me in person that they enjoyed the
book.
In spite of the publication of the DVD bible in late 1997, DVD technology
refused to stand still. Unfinished variations such as writable DVD
and DVD-Audio became less unfinished, and new applications such as
WebDVD and Divx reshaped markets and perceptions. So, in a brief
moment of insanity, having forgotten what an enormous task it was to
write this book in the first place, I agreed to do a second edition. If this
new edition helps people better understand DVD and use its unique features
to achieve their creative visions then my time will have been spent
well.
