Disc Burning Solution
Significant Enhancements to Easily Burn Data or Music in Just 3 Simple Steps
FREMONT, Calif. -- October 20, 2004 -- From the creators of
its award-winning software for making copies of personal DVD and CD videos, DVD
Copy™, InterVideo®, Inc. (NASDAQ: IVII) announced today the release of its
latest version of InterVideo DiscMaster™ 2 Gold and Platinum, a user-friendly
burning application that easily creates a CD or DVD in just three simple steps.
InterVideo DiscMaster 2 provides a fast, easy way to copy data, music, and
CD-ROM or DVD-ROM for archiving and backup usage.
InterVideo DiscMaster
2 is a full dimension solution for data and music copying. Creating and
transferring data and music files is no longer a costly application for
consumers. With two separate editions, DiscMaster Gold and DiscMaster Platinum,
this straightforward burning software makes it effortless for virtually anyone
wanting a copy of their content to use. It's simple for beginners and easy as a
snap for professionals to handle any desired copying CD/VCD tasks.
With
its user-friendly interface, consumers can create DVDs or CDs in three basic
steps: select source, target and burn. In just seconds, users can easily setup
to record data, audio, or videodiscs without the hassle of complicated menus or
difficult to understand options; it's quick and easy. From creating backups of
audio CDs to collecting favorite MP3s onto a CD, users can also smoothly extract
multiple audio tracks including MP3, WAV or WMA from a music CD to a hard disc.
New to the latest version of DiscMaster 2 is the Over Burn feature that
allows users to shorten CD-R lead-out area that gives users a little extra room
to burn oversized data. Also, users do not need to worry if the project is too
large to fit on one disc; the Span Disc option will prompt users to show how
many discs are required before burning. In addition, DiscMaster 2 has a broad
compatibility and supports all media: CD-R/RW, DVD+/-R/RW/-RAM disc or hard
drive. Users can simply select the video output format of DVD, VCD, or SVCD; so
no matter what type of drive is used, data and music discs can easily be shared
with family and friends.
Designed for ease of use, DiscMaster 2 also
incorporates a simplified interface and a step-by-step wizard that guides users
along when they are creating CD/DVD processes so almost anyone can quickly
master in producing copies of their data and music. Also included in DiscMaster
2 are the Enhanced, Mixed Mode, and Bootable CD features. Users can create an
Enhanced multi-session CD with data and audio tracks or a Mixed-mode CD with one
data track and multiple audio tracks. With DiscMaster 2, users can even create a
Bootable CD or DVD to expand the file system. Other new features include DVD
Double Layer Support so users can record twice the data volume onto one 8.5GB
disc and Disc Copy in which consumers can make bit for bit copies of a CD/DVD to
which they own the copyrights.
Exclusive to DiscMaster 2 Platinum, the
Disc Label feature gives users the option of personalizing their CD or DVD by
creating their own C D/DVD labels. Users can choose from several designs and
images to give their CD a professional look. Also integrated in the Platinum
edition, is the InterVideo Direct CD/DVD, which allows customers to use a
packet-writing tool that permits users to easily drag and drop the files to the
recording area which is similar to using a floppy disc.
