Novato, CA. Sonic Solutions today announced that its DVD premastering system, Sonic DVD Creator, has been enhanced to create DVD discs conforming to the DVD 1.0 specification. The 1.0 spec was eleased earlier in the week by the DVD Consortium, the industry body responsible for standards.
Sonic DVD Creator becomes the first DVD premastering tool to support the new specification, enabling Sonic users to create DVD 1.0 discs in time for this fall’s consumer launch of DVD.
“The DVD format is upon us,” said Ken Jones, marketing director for DVD for Toshiba Corp., founding member of the DVD Consortium. “Sonic’s DVD Creator system is paving the way for studios to create the content that will drive the burgeoning DVD market. Sonic’s compliance with the final DVD specification ensures that the titles will be ready to go when the players are introduced.”
The DVD Creator system is designed to enable content developers, movie studios, post production, and disc replication facilities to put interactive movie content on the new DVD medium. It includes modules for MPEG-2 video encoding, audio editing and encoding, and DVD disc authoring and formatting.
