The DVD format is perhaps the most ambitious and comprehensive vehiclefor pre-recorded media to be widely released to consumers. In its variouspermutations, it can offer high-quality MPEG-2 compressed componentdigital video, multichannel digital audio at various resolutions, compressionand codecs, multiple tracks of subtitles, multiplecamera angles, interactive user interfaces, ROMcontent accessible via computer, a platform forelectronic gaming, high-quality uncompresseddigital audio, and it is adaptable for futurehigh-definition video formats.

The adaptability of the DVD platform has posedproblems for developers and early adopters of theformat. It was found that some special-editioncontent could not be accessed by certain players;even recently, one manufacturer's top model wasunable to play a disc encoded with DVD-ROM content. First generationplayers would not output the bitstream encoded on discs with a DTSsoundtrack. The release of DIVX, a pay-per-view "enhancement" of theformat, created even more conflicts, until the combined disdain of mediapundits and mainstream consumers wiped it from the landscape.DVD-Audio, offering digital audio recorded at a higher sampling and bit-ratethan conventional CD, is the latest enhancement of the DVD platform. Asthe format continues its evolution, enterprising content producers will needto adapt to create new content suitable for the variations of the format thatcurrently exist and those that will be developed in the future.

EMA Multimedia, Inc. was intimately involved with DVD from its launch,having created many of the menu interfaces for the initial offering of titlesfrom Columbia Tri-Star Home Video, Warner Home Video, MGMHome Entertainment, New Line Home Video and HBO HomeVideo, and remains at the forefront of DVD design. The company wasfounded in 1992 by CEO and creative director Michael A. Pace as afull-service entertainment design studio to create and implement consumerand corporate promotional marketing campaigns integrating print,audio-visual and interactive media. One of the first all-digital design studios,EMA services an international client base including Hollywood motionpicture studios, high-tech companies and retailers from its headquarters inLos Angeles. It maintains a design team of 25 employees that has producedmore than 200 interactive products. In the years since the launch of DVD,

EMA has created innovative interface designs for avast array of titles, including "Austin Powers," "TheMask," "The Fifth Element," "Tomorrow NeverDies," "Starship Troopers," "Gods & Monsters" and"The Island of Dr. Moreau." EMA's presentation of"Air Force One" was awarded Best DVD Movie ofthe Year at VSDA, while "Spawn" won Best VideoMovie at the DiVi Production Conference andreceived a DVD People's Choice award. EMA was

recently responsible for creating the package design, promotionalelements, Web design, DVD menu system and special features for HBOHome Video's release of the four-disc set "From the Earth to the Moon,"

which was honored at the DVD PRO '99 Conference and Exhibitionwith Discus awards for Best Educational DVD (ROM or Video) and BestPackaging. Another EMA title, "Tomorrow Never Dies," also received aDiscus for Best Consumer DVD. Upcoming titles from EMA include "Spawn3" and "Muhammad Ali: The Greatest Collection." We talked with several ofthe principals from EMA about their perspectives on designing for DVD andthe potential of the format. Pictured in the photo below are, from left to right,Jefferson Ballew, Chris Clarke, Michael A. Pace (center), Eric Weisman andDavid Bonnabel.

In late 1996, as studios prepared for the launch of DVD, EMA wasapproached to design and create menus for many of the first titles to bereleased. "We created the lion's share of the menus for the initial launch ofthe format," commented Pace. "Warner Bros. wasone of my regular clients ‹ I started out by doingmovie key art, TV spots and trailers for them. Asthe Web started to evolve, I found myself beingasked to develop Web sites. As Warner solidifiedits business plan for developing DVD, they askedme if I could build something for them. We createdthe packaging as well as the menus, establishingthe shelf identity and the onscreen identity forthose initial titles."

"The packaging was based on VHS, with some additional information suchas the region coding, and a shot of the DVD menu on the back cover.Overall, it had the same look as the VHS package, " continued Pace. Thedesign of the DVD menu interface, however, presented more complexchallenges. Studios initially developed a standardized template for theirmenus that could be repeated across a variety of titles. The uniformity of theinterface left little room to customize the menu screen for the individualmovie they represented. "Looking back, some studios are a littleembarrassed by their original menu systems. One reason for the templateis that it allowed them to create many titles very quickly. When Warnerasked us to build their menus, we came up with an identity that woulduniquely serve the film on this new platform and enhance its transition intothe new medium, extending the look and feel of the film. We developed thefirst animated title for New Line's disc of 'The Player.' It was the first DVD touse motion graphics in its menu; some studios were afraid of puttingsomething out there that wouldn't operate across the various hardwareplatforms. New Line was one of the innovators of the format. We alsodeveloped the first-ever DVD video game for their disc of "The Adventuresof Pinocchio,' and we created the first sound-enhanced menu with loopingaudio for Warner's DVD of 'Mars Attacks.'

"I was at New Line," continued EMA producer Eric Weisman. "I was theexecutive director of technical operations over there for post-productionand the launch of DVD. We came to Michael through Warner's suggestion.At the time, Warner had asked him to create a style of template that manytitles could fit into. We looked at him and asked him, 'What do you want todo?' He said, 'You mean it?' And we said, 'Yeah. Go for it.' He created someoutrageous menus for 'The Mask' and 'Mortal Kombat.' The first day wewere in the emulation bay and brought the menus up, there were someWarner executives in the room who were very surprised. I think theyrealized they weren't taking full advantage of the aesthetic possibilities ofDVD, and from that point, Michael ran with the ball, and it really took a lot forthe authoring houses to keep up with him."

"What executives were afraid of, initially, was DVD creating more work forthem. The home video department is not used to dealing with interactiveissues. They're familiar with transferring a title to tape, wrapping it in a nicepackage and getting it on the shelves. They had to go through a learningcurve. The DVD platform is truly interactive. For thestudios to get all the titles they needed on theshelves to support the initial launch of DVD, anelaborate menuing system would have caused abacklog in the authoring and mastering of thosediscs. We've come to find that an interactive menusystem with motion graphics can turn a 'might-buy'disc into a 'must-have' for a DVD collector." Paceagreed, noting, "Sometimes, the menu systemsare what turns a sow's ear into a silk purse. We've been told that by some ofour clients in the past - they felt we helped them create something morethan was initially there."

According to Weisman, interactive menus also appeal to "the first-timeconsumer, who will bring his friends over and say, 'Hey, look at this.' We feltfrom the start that if DVD were just glorified VHS, there would be no reasonto do it. At New Line, we mastered in HD and did everything we could tomake it a different product. We were able to do what we wanted to do, togreenlight and spend what we wanted. Ultimately, we got back every pennyof it and then some. I decided to come over to EMA, where the brilliancewas. I believe that DVD has yet to really launch. It's here, but we haven'ttapped its capabilities. When we start to get into the fields of advertising andmagazine publishing, that's where we will be able to take full advantage ofall of DVD's capabilities."

"DVD has more interactivity to it than any other existing medium," said ITdirector/project manager Chris Clarke. "Nothing in the average person'sliving room has the same capabilities. Everyone has their computersystems, but even those are bridging with DVD. DVD and DVD-ROM giveyou something you can play in your living room and on your computer. Thatmakes DVD even more collectible and more desirable to the masses. Notonly can you watch a movie, you can play a game and jump to the Web tofind out more about the film." Weisman added, "In the extremely near future,you will be able to pop the same disc into the DVD-Audio player in your carand listen to the soundtrack."

The inclusion of DVD-ROM content on discs offers content designers theopportunity to create a greatly enhanced interactive experience. "We have apartnership with HyperLOCK Technologies to create encrypted moviesthat are available only when you visit a Web site, which allows the viewer toexperience high quality digital video playback in a browser environment,"said Pace. "We drive traffic to a Web site where we can make availableadditional entertainment options, advertising and instantaneouse-commerce. One disc we have that will be coming out is 'Muhammad Ali:

The Greatest Collection.' There will be a standardCD-ROM included with the DVD. The DVD-ROMhas three fights and a biography, and the CD isWeb-enabled so that when you go to HBO's site,you can view a never-before-seen featurette. Thevideo is available only once a live Internetconnection has been made. We're driving traffic tothe Web site and enhancing the longevity of theentertainment experience. The next generation ofDVD players will have the capability to playDVD-ROM and connect to the Web, so themachine that now hooks into your television will be

able to play ROM content and get you on the Internet as well. That's wherethe technology is heading."

"The game industry is really going to start taking off with DVD," noted Clarke."We're seeing now that game players want something more than ashoot-em-up concept, they want storylines as well. DVD-ROM can offer notonly a game, but a movie inside a game. Most games are now released with3D motion graphics that tell a story, but with DVD you can add live-action tothat, and it can be high quality and high-resolution without needing to havea monster computer to play it. That's part of the convergence Mike wastalking about. You can start playing a game in your living room, connect tothe Web and watch a movie. It will be the ultimate in entertainment. Thatpower is coming, and that's something for which we will be developingcontent."

"Everything is becoming digital," said Pace. "Even print will eventually bepart of that transformation. You will go to a newsstand, and instead ofpicking up a magazine, you'll pick up something that has ten pages butincludes a DVD. You can go home, drop the disc in your player and checkout all the content which will be enhanced with motion graphics and video.People want to interact with content now; they aren't content with staticimages. Print will still exist, but it won't be in the same format. You'll be ableto look at an ad for a watch you like and use the provided link to order it overthe Web. That's something DVD can do now, and as the storage capacity ofthe discs increases, that type of content will become very economical toinclude. Advertising and publishing will become a large part of what theformat is about."

"We're talking about a new type of journalism that uses sound, images,narration and subtitles," added Weisman. "When that happens, contentcreators will have to decide how to tell a story using those tools. How do youbring someone to a certain place, allow them to experience something andalso comment on it? That is a huge, wonderful challenge for all sorts ofcreative artists out there. DVD will also change the corporate world. GeneralMotors, I believe, put out a sales training disc with 32 separate channels ofsubtitles. DVD offers a failsafe kiosk application. Because so much data canbe stored on a disc, you no longer have to deal with hooking up to the Webin a location like a small store where the staff is not prepared to deal withconnection problems."

"DVD allows the advertiser to portray their product with broadcast-quality,real-time video and audio, coupled with interactivity," said Pace.
