For a noob, I might stay away from DVE.
The navigation is at best tedious and cumbersome, and there are some issues with the audio tones (The sub level is high, resulting in low sub settings. JK has offered an explanation, but I am not sure I buy into it).
And FWIW, Roger Dressler of Dolby Labs, and John Kotches (WSR reviewer) both have suggested that using the internal tones is almost always the way to go.
That said, I do like the new DVE video test patterns. Just search HTF for DVE...there is a long review thread that you can read.
But as for what disc to buy, for a noob, I would go for the S&V Set-up disc, as it can be had for <$20.
And I am 100% in agreement on the RS SPL meter. An essential piece of gear.
Having said all that, I know ZERO about the calibration capabilities of your Yammy. It quite possibly will outperform any 3rd party disc/meter you choose to buy.
But you do still need video patterns, so again, I would opt for the S&V disc.
