Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Adobe to announce CS5 on April 12

I second this request. In the feature world, we're always outputting scenes, sequences, reels, and all the rest of it to DVD for one reason or another. And I almost always work on Macs. And while DVDSP is a great tool, I and/or my assistants still have to migrate the sequence over there in order to make the DVD. Kind of a waste of time considering that I'm working on a high-end NLE (MC on a Mac/Nitris DX, etc.)
