    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption.

Hello!

I'm creating DVD studio pro buttons on a layered menu and they look good on computer screen but once burned they look terrible. They look smudged and unclear but on the computer they look fine.. maybe because of the different resolutions for PC/TV... I dont know.

this is how I create my buttons.

a. I pick a thick font
b. I apply a photoshop effect/style
c. I rasterize the font
d. create an empty layer
e. apple 'e' to (merge) the empty layer with the font

*PS: I would like to use fonts that are less thick, but I find that the smaller fonts are even more smudgy when burned on to the DVD

I also go into the settings before I burn to make sure that encoding is on 2 pass, bit rate 6.8, max bit is 8.0 and motion is at best*
