Another issue to be dealt with was how to make this accessible for everyone.
As both bride and groom pointed to me, some guests are not strictly Internet-literate, some of the older generations is not even keen on using computers.
Now, given it would be easy to burn a couple of autorun cds for everyone, I had to change the plan a bit.
As such I had to go back to the possibility how the only medium in which the movie would be accessed is through a domestic DVD player.
For this reason I went through a short course on DVD authoring (notably it was on a Mac so must have been either iDVD or DVD Studio Pro).
As it turned out (a valuable fact, or so it seems), the domestic dvd players cannot handle HD files.
So I had to go back to my project and render another version with lower settings applicable to PAL dvd players.
Adobe Encore allows for full DVD authoring, so I designed an intro splash screen (well, designed might seem a bit big, given that it was a rather not promising screengrab of the final product) and made a quick menu which would allow for playing on a loop.
Initial idea I had was to have subsequent chapters/dividers but in after consulting with the couple we decided not to include them as the content is relatively short and the breaks in between one sequence can get in the way more rather than help navigate.
