Absolutely, it's so feasible, it's a total no-brainer. Furthermore, the program will shortly add to it's feature list retrieval of DLT data to HDD for further re-authoring, and CSS implementation, and multiple simultaneous DLT writing (e.g. write both layers of a DVD-9 project to a drive each, at the same time) and a command interpreter, with variable speed walk-through!

Completely correct



As a longtime member of Doom9's forum, I have respectfully been deliberately reserved about posting about the program on the forum, but I believe events will soon overtake this, because, in the same way that Scenarist and Maestro have become synonymous with high-end DVD authoring, and are discussed multiple times a day, 'Edit may well prove to do the same. I guess it all depends if people can see the wisdom in spending a few hundred dollars on a MAC to gain tens of thousands of dollars worth of DVD authoring functionality. We shall see.

I will answer people's questions on the topic, should they arise, although these would probably be better directed towards the program's own support site, where there is a talented group of individuals, geared specifically towards it. Barely a day goes by there without someone devising yet another use for the program.
