SCO0184 - Project: How I Create the SCO DVDs [Extra! Members Only]

Filed in: RapidWeaver | Productivity | Business | SCO Updates

Something different this week in that I've created another tutorial based on a project rather than a single application.

It's a peek behind the scenes to see how I create the ScreenCastsOnline DVD Archives. These are data DVDs I create each year as a service for ScreenCastsOnline Extra! members. Each DVD contains all the HD versions of the shows for the previous year, allowing members to clear down iTunes and keep a copy of the shows for future reference.

Rather than just copy all the Quicktime movies over to the DVD (well that wouldn't be much of a show would it!), each DVD archive has a mini version of the main ScreenCastsOnline website installed right on the DVD. The mini website is based on the full version of the site complete with show notes and a direct link to each HD version of the show available on the DVD.

This weeks show takes you through how I use Rapidweaver to create the main ScreenCastsOnline website and then the multi-stage process to create the mini website from the very same RapidWeaver project.

Along the way, I also touch on:

Mousepose
Desktop Curtain
Rapidweaver 4.2 (Affiliate Link)
TextWrangler - Editing Multiple Documents
A Better Finder Rename
Burning DVDs with OSX
Payloom - Creating a Shopping Page in Rapidweaver
