In my opinion, DVD architect leapt ahead of both ULead's and SonicSolution's offerings. Finally, a DVD program that doesn't eschew the Windows interface standards. However, there are a handful of features that I think would make the product much better.
There is no support for anamorphic 16x9 video. Basically the way it works now is that you have to letterbox your original material in 4x3, and then it anamorphically expands it to 16x9. But what if you shot and edited the material in anamorphic 16x9 to begin with? Then you are forced to shrink it down to 4x3 with letter box, then use DVDA to scale it back up to 16x9 anamorphic. Of course this process loses about 40% of the resolution you started with. So there should be an "Anamorphic 16x9" setting for video in addition to the current offerings.
Sub-titles! SF could greatly solidify a lead in DVD authoring by adding this. Maybe I'm the only one interested in this feature. But I think it would be great to be able to do multiple language titles easily.
