There is a copy of DVD Studio Pro V4 on Yevette's computer but it is not registered. I am legally registered for the product but Apple stopped supporting it years ago so all of that stuff is gone.
Then I rooted through the only resources I have not yet searched: two archive disks from 2001. There is the registration for DVD Studio Pro but it's for V2. Rats.
That finishes it for DVD and the final is that there's no chance of re-mastering any of the DVDs. The remaining option is to use any existing copies and rip them to disk to create a full movie file.
Yevette, this is specifically toward the deal: if I can't replace them then don't chuck them. I didn't chuck them and the above review shows they can't be replaced. I'll keep them but not the CDs.
Apple must have abandoned DVD as having any market potential as DVD Studio Pro was tremendously powerful, you could do whatever you liked in creating DVDs. For Apple to drop it meant they saw no future (i.e. dollars) in it, at least not from indie producers. Then comes AppleTV and it becomes clear: plastic DVD is irrelevant to their audio / video distribution plans.
There's not much more to add on the matter of full-spectrum audio but understand this is not even close to a stoner fantasy as HDtracks markets commercial audio at the highest quality. There are multiple other online vendors also providing AIFF music tracks.
MP3 is obsoleted by technology but not by economics as the entire system is greased for MP3 even though it is known to everyone as the poorest version of any audio track. The technology could easily handle the larger size of AIFF / HD music but it doesn't happen. That's why you need a whizkid to organize it. That it will happen is inevitable.
Disabling the optical drive in the laptop did give some performance benefit and enough to make it worth doing but there was no blinding flash of magic. That's ok as I don't have to screw around with it anymore.
There will be about a week more of being swallowed by technology but I'm breaking out after that and hopefully it will be a swell result. I don't like doing this and want to get back to what I do.
