There have been some very noisy rants on this board complaining rather strongly about DVDA. I've stayed out of these discussions for the most part, but find the kind of ridicule and rude comments being thrown at you to be really uncalled for.
DVDA is new - version 1.0. It has some great features, and it has some problems. Despite the few problems, I have been able to create some very nice DVDs with it. I am confident, being a long time vegas video user, that you folks will continue to improve DVDA just as you have done with the vegas. I know lots of others feel this way as well.
DVD authoring is a new arena. I think it was rather courageous of SOFO to take the plunge - which many of us ASKED them to do. They opened themselves up to a lot of trouble and headache to bring us what we wanted.
Those that complain that the problems with DVDA are messing up their professional work should remember something - you have to be pretty stupid to hinge your profession on a version 1.0 software product that you never tested yourself. That's like going into the dentist for an extraction and as you are falling under the influence of the anesthetic he says "You know, I've never used a pair of vise grips to pull a tooth - let's give it a shot - it's your money afterall".

SOFO - Please disregard the rest of this thread (my posts, at least. I can't speak for others). I am afraid it has turned into something rather unpleasant, and in no way clarifies or adds to the intent of my original message. I apologize for the way this has deteriorated. Keep up the good work.
