Martin Sitter Thank you Serena Herr, for keeping the bubble floating between the lines. A warm thank you to Patty Montesion for ensuring that proper education is out there. Thanks also to Brian Schmidt, Don Steele, Margaret Tinsley, Phil Jackson, Jessica Steigerwald, Bill Forester, Vidas Neverauskas, David Dvorin, Victor Alexander, and all of my other friends at Apple. Deep respect goes to Mark Stope and Sli-fi.com, as well as the team at macProVideo.com, for suffering through endless delays while I finished this unexpected project.

And finally, I’d like to acknowledge my peers, the other Apple Lead trainers: Adam Green, Steve Martin, Abba Shapiro, Damian Allen, Mary Plummer, and Diana Weynand. See y’all at the next show.

Adrian Ramseier First and foremost, I am grateful to my wife and business partner, Judith Ramseier, for guiding this book along its path, and my kids, Jessica and Pascal, for having patience with me.

The all4DVD team—Darcy Dahl, Chad Fahs, Paul Kyle, Frank Rohmer, Ernie Schaeffer, and Yan Shvalb—all made valuable contributions to the first edition and much of their work is showcased again here.

The Apple team: Patty Montesion for the opportunity to write this book; Matt Geller for his excellent written and technical contributions; Stephen Kanter and Steve Martin for their technical review; and Kirk Paulsen for his writing contributions.
