Previous Release Information About DVD Studio Pro 4.1
The following information was included with DVD Studio Pro 4.1. The information is
divided into several sections to make it easier to locate specific items.
General Information
This section contains information about general DVD Studio Pro usage.
DVD Studio Pro 4.1 Complies With the HD DVD-Video Specification
HD DVD projects authored with DVD Studio Pro 4.0.3 and DVD Studio Pro 4.1 fully
comply with the 1.0 version of the HD DVD-Video specification, which defines the new
HD DVD standard. DVD Studio Pro versions 4.0, 4.0.1, and 4.0.2 complied with the
0.9 version of the HD DVD-Video specification, which was the most current available
at that time.
The 1.0 version of the HD DVD-Video specification includes some changes that will
affect how you create HD projects in DVD Studio Pro.
Important:
HD discs created with DVD Studio Pro versions 4.0, 4.0.1, and 4.0.2 are
not compatible with any DVD players that conform to version 1.0 of the HD DVD-Video
specification.
Note:
You can open the older projects in DVD Studio Pro 4.1 and use its Build and
Format features to create discs that are compatible with DVD players that conform to
version 1.0 of the HD DVD-Video specification. Build files (in HVDVD_TS folders) created
with DVD Studio Pro versions 4.0, 4.0.1, and 4.0.2 cannot be formatted directly—you
must create them again using the Build function.
HD DVD Playback on Apple DVD Player
You must update to Apple DVD Player version 4.6.5 or later, included with Mac OS X
v10.4.4, to play HD DVD discs created with DVD Studio Pro 4.0.3 or later. DVD Player 4.6.5
also plays HD DVD discs created with DVD Studio Pro versions 4.0, 4.0.1, and 4.0.2, which
conform to the 0.9 version of the HD DVD-Video specification.
