Importing Item Descriptions

You cannot import item descriptions saved with any earlier version of DVD Studio Pro (1,
2, or 3) into DVD Studio Pro 4. Because an item description is a text file describing an
element such as a menu or track, you can create a new item description by importing a
project that contains the element into DVD Studio Pro 4, then saving an item description
of it.

Menu and Subtitle Text May Change

When you open a project created in DVD Studio Pro 2 or DVD Studio Pro 3 that contains
text typed onto a menu or subtitle within DVD Studio Pro, that text may appear different.
DVD Studio Pro 4 correctly processes the text for both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, and for
both NTSC and PAL resolutions.

Additionally, if the project contains rotated menu text items, the rotated items may appear
different. DVD Studio Pro 4 now correctly rotates menu text items without distorting
them.

DVD Studio Pro 3 Projects Using Custom Transitions That Have Been
Moved May Not Work

Projects created with DVD Studio Pro 3 that use custom Alpha Transitions may not build
correctly if the transitions have been moved. (When you play the VIDEO_TS files, the
transition is skipped.) You can correct this by choosing a different transition, then choosing
the correct transition again everywhere the transition is used.
