Rivergate Software Inc. - makers of DVDAfterEdit

This guide is aimed at getting alpha and beta-testers up and running with HDAfterEdit v1 as quickly as possible. It assumes a good knowledge of DVDAE Version 3 and DVD authoring in general, and will be continually under development. As we near release the documentation will come online and make it redundant.

One of our Alpha Testers, Joe Rice of GMX Entertainment, posted the following great summary on the DVD List on 06.25.07

Andy Pennell's Blog - Less technical stuff but still some interesting posts.

Amy Dullard's Blog - Another great resource for getting up to speed on HDi development, including summaries of available tools and discussions of creating ACA files:

• Selecting Your HDi Development Tools

Peter Torr's blog - This fantastic blog contains a wealth of information on HDi, including discussions of the Microsoft HDi examples, links to useful authoring tools and advanced scripting examples - play Space Invaders on an HD DVD player !

Useful resources for HD authoring, both HD DVD & Blu Ray.

Several Microsoft employees are providing excellent information on HD DVD, especially HDi, on their blogs. This section will provide links to some of the best, along with occasional comments. In fact, some should probably be considered essential reading for anyone intending to work with Advanced Content.

This area of the site will aim to provide useful starting points for authors interested in finding out more about HD DVD. Ultimately we hope to provide tutorials and guides on authoring an HD DVD, but to begin with we will focus on describing what HD DVD is, how it differs from SD DVD, and where you can look to learn more.

This section provides technical reference material for all users. A more informal treament can be found in the Getting Started section.

An HD DVD contains two types of contents: one is Standard Content and the other is Advanced Content. Standard Content is a pure extension of SD, as described in DVD-Video specification Version 1.1.
