O’Reilly Releases ”iMovie 6 and iDVD– The Missing Manual”
Author David Pogue says the world of video is “exploding.” Sounds violent, but he’s got a point: People are giving each other DVDs instead of greeting cards and watching each other via video on their web sites. Video is fast becoming a new standard document format. Can you say YouTube?

In full color throughout, the book contains hundreds of undocumented secrets for creating and distributing professional-quality films from the comforts of home.
