High Mountain is pleased to provide the following services: DVD MENU DESIGN People often ask what DVD authoring is. A major component is DVD Menu Design. Like web pages, DVD menus lead you through the disc to the content you want to see. Since 1994, High Mountain has designing and developing interactive interfaces, and has the experience you need to have the best designed menu screens. DVD AUTHORING Special features like games, hidden "Easter Eggs" and innovative behind the scenes information techniques must be programmed for the DVD player to give your customers the product they expect. High Mountain has years of scripting experience, both in DVD and related languages, that will give you the results you desire. CD-EXTRA VIDEO AUTHORING Musicians need to look for that little edge when distributing their music by CD. CD-Extra Videos can provide that edge on a budget. Using client provided video, a stand-alone player is created using Flash technology. This allows for a user experience that does not require the installation of software on their computer, a major benefit in today's virus-infested computer world. A standard, customizable template is used to provide video controls and links to a web site to drive users to concert information, mailing lists, etc. The techniques used insure that once the audio has been mastered, it remains unchanged. WE NEVER RIP AUDIO! Therefore, you can be sure that adding a CD-Extra Video will not alter the sound you worked so hard to achieve.

High Mountain will digitize and then encode your video into MPEG2 using two pass Variable Bit Rate encoding, and convert your audio to stereo AC-3. If you have surround sound audio, High Mountain can handle that, too! If needed, frame-by-frame-by-hand hinting is also available for maximum quality in difficult to encode footage. DVD DUPLICATION Only need a few DVDs? Then you need duplication, and High Mountain can provide that service to you! Our discs include labels which are printed right on the disc! And our automated verification insures that your discs work. Our years of experience insure that we use the best practices to insure your discs work when they arrive at your viewer's player. DVD REPLICATION Need to make thousands of discs? Then you need replication! By creating a master disc and making many copies from that disc, the price of each disc is greatly reduced. Also, replicated discs work in any DVD player. High Mountain has partners who will replicate your disc using the highest quality testing and verification. High Mountain will be with you every step of the way to make sure that your DVDs meet up with your expectations. MASTERING High Mountain can put your DVD onto a DLT tape for mastering. This is a requirement if you want to use Macrovision or CSS encryption. Also, some replicators will only work from DLT tapes! In addition, High Mountain can also provide DVD mastering, which some replication houses now prefer for ease of use and low cost of shipping. GRAPHIC DESIGN Besides your disc, there are other considerations. What about the label? The cover? Or an insert? High Mountain can design, print, and assemble your DVD packages to your specifications.
