Easy CD and DVD Creation Software

Sonic Solutions’ new MyDVD Studio Deluxe 6 is an upgrade to the industry's easiest, most complete, award-winning consumer DVD and CD creation software. MyDVD Studio Deluxe 6 includes everything users need to burn video and photos to CD and DVD, create music CDs using Sonic's popular RecordNow technology, copy personal DVD movies and CDs, play DVD/CD movies on a PC, and create custom disc labels.

MyDVD Studio Deluxe 6 includes many new features that make the creation of professional-quality DVDs and CDs easier than ever before, including freeform button placement, state-of-the-art encoding for up to four hours of video on a single-layer DVD, true anamorphic widescreen support, up to 1,000 photos per slideshow, enhanced audio control, and a new interface that integrates all DVD and CD creation tasks.

Features include:

• Advanced integration of video, audio, copy, and data capabilities - new user interface lets users easily switch from one task to another and perform multiple tasks simultaneously.
• Fit-to-DVD automatic quality setting - automatically optimizes DVD video quality depending on how much content users want to burn.
• Manual quality settings - familiar VCR-like quality settings allow users to choose from among several video quality levels, including: High Quality (HQ), Standard Play (SP), Long Play (LP), and Extended Play (EP).
• First true anamorphic widescreen support in a consumer product - provides highest-quality output for 16:9 video from files and DV camcorders.
• Enhanced photo slideshow capabilities - allows users to import photos from any digital camera supported by the Windows Imaging Architecture and create compelling photo slideshows with up to 1,000 photos per slideshow.
• Enhanced audio capabilities - supports playlists of up to 99 audio files to use as background audio for movies and slideshows; slideshows can be easily synchronized to playlist length; users can loop playlists so they continue for the full length of the content, and easily add an audio fade to coincide with the end of the content.
• Enhanced DVD design and video editing capabilities - features new built-in menu styles, freeform menu button placement and one hundred new video transitions.
• Complete recorder/media/file format support - includes support for Double-Layer DVD+R drives and media, which allows users to burn nearly twice the amount of data on a single disc (from 4.7GB to 8.5GB).
