SAI ships recordable DVD writing Utility

SAI ships recordable DVD writing Utility

General Interest May 24,2002 0

Software Architects, Inc. (SAI) announced the commercial release of WriteDVD!(TM) Pro v4.0 for MS Windows and Apple systems. Version 4.0 supports "drag & drop" writing to all types of DVD recordable drives and media, including DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and DVD-RAM. The software supports all major brand drives, including Sony, HP, Ricoh, Philips, Pioneer, Hitachi and Panasonic, as well as third party drive systems, such as LaCie and QPS. Simplified User Experience

The software simplifies the operation of "combination" drives that can read/write a variety of media types by using the world's first integrated UDF file system and driver architecture that supports both block addressable DVD-RAM & DVD+RW discs, and sequential recording DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD+R media, as well as CD-R and CD-RW media,

Integrated Architecture Prevents Driver Conflicts

WriteDVD! uses SAI's "total UDF" integrated UDF architecture. The software's integrated design provides the user with a single file system and driver interface that reliably operates regardless of the type of disk inserted into the drive. This prevents driver conflicts and file system queuing problems that commonly occur when using different software programs to run DVD-R/W, DVD+R/W, DVD-RAM and CD-R/W on the same computer system.

"Our `Total UDF' architecture takes the confusion out of supporting various optical formats", said Robert Zollo, president of SAI. "Users have a simple, drive letter interface that they can drag & drop files to, from a single software program to use for recordable CD and DVD mastering, as well as writing to block addressable DVD-RAM or DVD+RW discs. This eliminates the problems related to using different software products for overlapping usage."

Supports "Real Time DVD Video Recording"

Version 4.0 includes support for advanced "Real Time Recording" functions used in new DVD-RAM disk based video camcorders and video recorders. Real time recording optimizes reads and writes of video files to disk by emulating sequential recording on the random access, block addressable DVD-RAM media. This minimizes the optical head movement during playback, resulting in faster and smoother video reads from the disk.

Key Features

Easy to use, "Drag & Drop" interface integrated with Windows Explorer(TM) and Apple Finder(TM)
Copy, arrange and remove files from DVD-R, DVD+R or CD-R volumes prior to finishing the disc
