Sonic Launches PrimeTime Deluxe
October 01, 2003
Marin County, CA - Sonic Solutions has released Sonic PrimeTime Deluxe, a premium version of the PrimeTime line of DVD creation software for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition.
Launched in conjunction with Microsoft’s release of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004, PrimeTime Deluxe expands upon the Media Center experience by making it easy to archive personal digital media such as recorded TV shows onto DVDs that can be played on set-top DVD players and multimedia PCs. With new features including real-time TV preview, expanded menu style selections, OpenDVD edit-on-disc capability and Sonic SmartStyle technology, PrimeTime Deluxe is a great companion product for Windows XP Media Center Edition, the manufacturer describes.
Sonic PrimeTime also includes a built-in Bit Budget which makes it easy to see how much space is available on each recorded DVD. Once PrimeTime starts burning a DVD, users can return to watching TV or listening to music on their Media Center PC. The final disc can then be played back on standard set-top DVD players and DVD-equipped PCs.
New Sonic PrimeTime Deluxe features include:
Edit-on-Disc – PrimeTime Deluxe is OpenDVD-compliant, allowing users to add or remove content on their rewritable DVDs and VCDs at anytime.
Real-time preview – PrimeTime Deluxe integrates TV playback into its interface, allowing users to play, pause, and navigate through each show and see the chapter points that will automatically get burned to disc.
Sonic SmartStyles – PrimeTime Deluxe creates menus that replicate the Media Center experience, allowing users to sort their TV shows directly on their DVD during playback.
Style chooser – PrimeTime Deluxe gives users the ability to choose the look and feel of their final DVD disc with a built-in style chooser. Additional styles will be available on the Sonic estore.
Dolby Digital audio – PrimeTime Deluxe includes Dolby Digital audio encoding, providing crystal clear theater-quality sound and allowing for up to 50% more video on a disc.
Sonic PrimeTime Deluxe will be available for purchase online for $79.99 on October 15, 2003.
