submenus with supplements<br />

Audio with a few menus and stills Music albums (<strong>DVD</strong>-Video or<br />

<strong>DVD</strong>-Audio)<br />

require flipping. Rumors of production problems and compatibility issues<br />

are just that—rumors. Early production yield problems were solved long<br />

ago, and minor dual-layer compatibility problems affect an insignificant<br />

number of readers.<br />

TEAMFLY<br />

A <strong>DVD</strong>-Video disc plays in any <strong>DVD</strong> system: <strong>DVD</strong> players, <strong>DVD</strong> computers,<br />

<strong>DVD</strong> game consoles, and so on. It has more limitations, making project<br />

design and production easier in some ways. In general, <strong>DVD</strong>-Video discs<br />

require no tech support. <strong>DVD</strong>-ROM has more flexibility, and it has better<br />

support for text display, data manipulation, searching, and interactivity.<br />

The best approach is to combine both, using the best qualities of each. Of<br />

course, this option requires more work. See Chapter 11 for more on computer<br />

use of <strong>DVD</strong> and enhancing <strong>DVD</strong>-Video and <strong>DVD</strong>-Audio discs with<br />

Internet technology.
