MediaStudio offers the most advanced MPEG-based editing performance on the market – now including the new HDV and HDTV formats. The software’s comprehensive modular package includes video capture, editing, audio editing, video painting and powerful CG graphics, as well as basic DVD authoring.
For professional DVD authoring results, DVD Workshop 2 successfully marries pro-level DVD authoring features with a straightforward, design-oriented workflow that surpasses the competition in efficiency and flexibility. New levels of creativity can be realized right in the authoring environment with support for video and image compositing for menu design. DVD Workshop’s professional features include multiple subtitle and audio tracks, advanced playlist control and support for Digital Linear Tape (DLT) for replication as well as dual layer DVDs (DVD-9) for projects requiring double disc capacity.
The bundled version of Sorenson Squeeze 3.5 Compression Suite includes all of Sorenson Media’s professional codecs—Sorenson Video 3 Pro, Sorenson Spark Pro, and Sorenson MPEG-4 Pro.

Additionally, the smaller file sizes enable producers to more efficiently stream media across the Internet.
