Mastering Edition is for authoring professionals who require mass replication. In addition to all of the functions of DVDAfterEdit, it provides output to DLT and DDP Image, the preferred formats for replication and which are required in order to use region coding, CSS, and Macrovision. You can also restore DLT's or DDP Images made from any authoring system to an editable VIDEO_TS folder, allowing you to make changes to previously mastered projects that need to be refreshed for re-release.

With the DVDAfterEdit Mastering Edition you can:

• Copy from an open project, a disk folder, disc image, tape image (DDP), or DLT tape, including those marked for CSS or Macrovision.
• Format or copy to a disk folder, disc image, tape image, or DLT tape.
