Zettl's VideoLab 3.0 is an interactive DVD-ROM (Windows and Mac compatible), based on the award-winning Zettl's VideoLab 2.1 CD-ROM. It was a finalist in the prestigious 2005 Codie Awards (a competition for best interactive software). It is intended to give students some virtual hands-on practice and a proven shortcut from reading about production techniques to applying them in the studio and the field.
