DVD operation and insert requirements.

DVD operation is vital for the VT inserts. The DVD op should always be alert and ready and know exactly what they are doing, letting the director know when the DVD is ready and so on. Without a DVD op the process of adding inserts could be very hectic, there should also always be a black window before and after a clip to allow time for the operator to pause the DVD at the points needed. Once a clip has been played the Operator should get straight to work queing up the next clip for the show and letting the director know he is ready by using the call "DVD ready". The inserts are put together on a show reel in some sort of editing software and then exported as a quicktime MOV and added to a DVD in tracks once this is complete a Cue Sheet is produced to let the operator know how long clips are what they contain and so on all this makes the job of DVD op much simpler.
