DVDs have become the standard in video distribution allowing perfect digital video to be viewed by the masses. Thrive offers a comprehensive DVD authoring service that can be as complex as you need it to be. We are capable of duplicating DVDs but can also create a master for replication. We can produce DVDs of differing styles with static or motion menus. So if you want a DVD slideshow to display your photographs, a live music DVD, or a full 'movie' DVD with special features then Thrive has the solution for you.

The DVD specification allows for lots of interesting features to be added to your production. They include audio commentaries, alternate languages and angles, slideshows, subtitles, web access, full motion menus, ROM content and scripting that will bring your project to life and make it easily accessible to your target market. Below are some examples of DVDs that Thrive has authored.

Wedding DVDs

Here are three examples of wedding DVDs that are stylistically very different to each other. Some have chapter menus whilst others have just a single menu as a launch area for the content. The Cinessence menu is quite complex and can remember the option that a user has selected when the menu changes.

Sing to the Well

Sing to the Well was a DVD project that was packaged as an extra in a CD album release. The CD was released to raise money to buy a well in Tanzania. The DVD allowed the user to explore what had gone into the making of the CD and more about the project itself. Slideshows, movie clips, and documentary sections were all combined to give a unique experience to the viewer.

Epidemic Life Promotional DVD

This DVD was used to promote the Epidemic Life '08 youth conference. It contained footage from the previous year (worship and talk), a still gallery, video information and web access to direct people to the booking form and further information.
