Call it a wish list or a missing features list. I suppose it depends on what you expected and how "professional" one expects DVDA to be. I find the following issues to be unthinkable for a leading edge product at this price point to lack.
1. The lack of “end action control”. See discussion titled: “Control after scene completion”.
2. Inability for menu background audio to span menus. Audio has to be specified for each menu and if it is the same as the prior menu the audio “restarts”. I’d expect a feature to extend a single audio track across all menus. One continuous audio track that doesn’t “restart” when moving across menus.
3. Inability to copy and paste menu item (object) attributes from one object to another. Menu size, text size, etc. I’d expect a feature to set the default size for menu objects – the “Scene selection menu” objects are all too small.
4. Support for constructing and saving themes inside DVDA. The help file says "Use Unzip and play with the XML script, rezip, etc - This is what I would expect from an OEM version of a DVD mastering product.
Until there is a 1.0A or 2.0 version of DVD-A is there another product that someone can recommend that covers the basics as well as the mass market products but also provides for the level of flexibility to warrant the "professional" attribute?
