Adobe Encore DVD in the Studio: Deconstructing DVDs

Overview This paper explains the internals of a DVD, including its physical structure, how data is organized on it, and copy-protection mechanisms. The paper also talks about some of the competing formats for writable DVDs. One may not know this already, but one can watch DVDs directly on the PC. In fact, testing out data in this way is a valuable part of the DVD authoring process, so one will continue by discussing Microsoft's Windows Media Player 9.
