Sonic has announced that they've developed a DVD burning plug-in for SnapStream's Beyond TV software. With this new plug-in, Beyond TV users can now record shows to disc complete with menus, content titles, and chapter points.
Sonic Solutions (NASDAQ: SNIC), the leader in digital media software, today announced that SnapStream, a leading developer of digital home products, has chosen Sonic's comprehensive authoring, encoding, and formatting engine, AuthorScript to bring DVD burning capabilities to Beyond TV, the company's award-winning PC Digital Video Recorder (DVR) application. Available now, the optional DVD-burning plug-in enables Beyond TV owners to author DVDs of saved TV shows for playback on a broad range of set-top DVD players. This latest agreement reinforces the versatility of AuthorScript, which was also selected recently to enable DVD recording features in Windows Vista and high-quality DVD playback in a future version of Nintendo's Wii gaming console.
This plug-in is available now and comes as part of Beyond TV 4.5. If you'd like to read more, Sonic's entire press release can be found here.
