DVD Operation and Insert requirements

The DVD is one of the most important pieces of the show, it is needed for the show as it contains all VT inserts, stings, opening titles and credits, which all help to make up the show, without them the show would not be a success.

You must ALWAYS make sure when producing the DVD that when recording VT inserts, stings etc, that all of the settings are the exact same so the screen aspect ratio is not different on each clip.

You must also have at least 7 seconds between each of VT's you are using, this is due to the fact that in these 7 seconds you will need three things, the first being one second of black screen so it refrains from cutting straight into the next sequence, the second is 4 seconds worth of VT roll(the count of what VT it is etc, it is also a way of helping to get to the track more quickly. The final thing which you must do in the 7 seconds is have a further second of black screen.
