Summary: The Go-To book for DVD authoring
Review: If you do any DVD authoring with Studio Pro, you must have this book. As a resource book for using the software, it is infinitly valuable. I love the tutorials. Ramseirer doesn't make any assumptions on the ability or knowledge of the reader (which is great for me, because I can get lost very easily!)
I also like the fact that he doesn't get bogged down in technobabble. The book also doesn't get to bogged down in Final Cut issues. As far as I'm concerned, if I need a book for that...I'll buy it!
Buy this one! It's great.

Summary: Missed chance
Review: In a perfect series on video editing this book, which should have been the icing on the cake, was a severe blow: a startling amount of mistakes in the text and a bad build-up. It was helpfull in getting through the programm but missed the flair of the other volumes. (with advanced editing by digital film tree being the real juwel)

Summary: jump start
Review: This book (and the others in the series are a great way to jump start your understanding of the products. Easy to follow tutorial takes you through most of what you need to know to get started.

Summary: Disappointing!
Review: This book should be renamed "DVD Studio Pro 2: Apple Amateur Training Series". Although it's possible to struggle through the book, it is poorly written and full of errors and omissions. It's difficult to imagine how this book ever made it to the printer in its present state. Apple should find another author to write the Pro Training Series book for DVD Studio Pro 3 - or at least insist that the follow-up be proof-read and accurate. Save your money and hope that the next edition is better.
