AVOID Becoming A Statistic...

Be Sure to Have Trai Look Over Your Files Before Replication

Trai Forrester is the World's Acknowledged Leading Authority on DVD Studio Pro®

Trai got his start with DVD Studio Pro in the spring of 1999 when the program was known as Astarte DVDirector. Trai became the world's leading Astarte Dealer/Distributor by fall of 1999, traveling throughout the country, installing and training on the new system, helping bring in scores of early adopting studios into DVD Production.

Trai released the "TFDVD-9 Maker" the workaround to DVD SP's DVD-9 formatting bug - summer 2002'. For almost 2 years afterwards, it's the only way to guarantee a spec compliant DVD-9 in DVD Studio Pro®.

Trai led the development of DVDAfterEdit, beginning in Fall, 2002. The program was originally designed to extend DVD Studio Pro's capabilities.

Trai Forrester's 
Professional DVD Authoring Services

Discover the benefits of turning over the DVD authoring to Trai. Your studio still creates the assets and works with the client, Trai does the rest:

1) Guaranteed mistake, error-free and DVD-Video Specification compliant DVD Images ready for replication, delivered to your replicator on fully proofed and Eclipse™transferred and tested DLTs. Almost less than a handful of DVD Production Studios in the world can prove that claim (mainly TFDVD Research Labs clients and a few high-end studios).

2) Fast turnaround. Trai Forrester is very quick to get a proof copy of the DVD into you and your client's hands.

3) Advanced features and functionality are programmed into every DVD. Most DVDs released onto the market, do not take advantage of quite a few features the DVD format offers. Your studio will suffer no such embarrassment, and your clients will be well pleased.

The best DVD Authoring
tools are used:

4) Full disc navigation protocols are followed. Most DVD's on the market, including Hollywood titles, do not follow some of the most basic navigation precepts designed to help viewers navigate the disc. Trai follows strict guidelines resulting in a properly authored DVD.

5) Collaborating on a DVD production job with Trai is a valuable learning experience for all involved. And Trai's energy is felt throughout your facility (we've been told). Also, your staff will learn some of Trai's authoring strategies that are utterly unique, and designed for maximum DVD player compatibility.

6) You can leave everything to Trai - he's been authoring DVDs slated for mass release for DVD production studios, for over 11 years, and tests everything he does with a suite of $60,000 in DVD verification tools. As an option, his staff can perform DVD-R release candidate proofing in up to over 150 DVD players, i.e. your studio and client only have to approve the DVD-R release candidate Trai sends. Or, your studio and / or client can perform the proofing of the disc before approval (Trai uses 30 or so, specially chosen DVD players out of the player bank, and several computer software players to check the DVDs navigation).

7) Increase your DVD production company's job throughput by being able to take on more DVD projects; along with not having to worry about DVD Images being rejected at the replication facility, or the days and weeks (and maybe clients) lost if you have to withdraw DVDs with problems from the market (Successful DVD Production is rarely an accident, folks).

Cost: This full DVD authoring / DLT Pre-mastering package starts at only $2500 (DVD-5). Please call Trai Forrester with your requirements and a detailed quote - 800-213-2297, or 610-924-9204, or please email if you prefer.

*Important note: Everything is held in the strictest confidence. Trai only authors for DVD production studios and DVD producers who are capable of delivering their own disc assets, and never for end user clients. Trai will act to protect the authoring studio's client-relationship by authoring the best DVD that's possible. And just so you and your client know, Trai politely declines to work for the authoring studio's client, if he is approached directly.

It turns out, that hiring TFDVD Research Labs on those important, "can't fail" DVD project's (which is every DVD project) is one of the best ways for the DVD production studio to help protect valuable client relationships.
