 "Memorex DVD recorders have been recognized as the industry's
best, so consumers can be certain that the 8X Dual-X Drive offers the
highest levels of performance and reliability," said Allen H. Gharapetian,
vice president of marketing and product development. "For our new
generation of DVD recorders, we have combined the industry's latest
hardware with the best and most complete software suite, to deliver a
stylish, easy-to-use DVD recording solution." This version builds on the
success of the Memorex 4X Dual-X Drive, which was recently named PC
Magazine Editors' Choice and a PC World Best Buy.
In a retail package that takes the
guesswork out of DVD recording, Memorex delivers an all-in-one solution
that comes complete and ready for immediate use. Memorex bundles Roxio's
digital media software suite with every Dual-X DVD Recorder, providing
consumers with award-winning software that makes it easy for consumers to
create Hollywood-style DVD movies, convert old VHS tapes to DVD, edit and
save precious digital photos, and store data and audio files. This
complete software suite includes Roxio's Easy CD & DVD Creator(TM) 6;
full versions of Roxio's PhotoSuite® 5 SE, and VideoWave Movie
Creator(TM); and the DVDMax(TM) Player software.
To ensure that consumers record
high-quality CDs and DVDs every time, the Memorex 8X Dual-X Drive features
state-of-the-art technology that continually stabilizes the drive and
reduces the effects of vibrations caused by improperly balanced discs
during high speed recording and playback. Particularly important in DVD
disc authoring and recording, the Memorex Dual-X drive achieves
significantly better overwrite performance than previous benchmark DVD
recorders. Memorex accomplishes this by using an industry leading defect
management system that allows discs to be rewritten many times over
without causing a degradation of disc quality or sacrificing write
performance. The Memorex Dual-X Drive also boasts a 70,000-hour MTBF --
nearly 40 percent better than the average competing drive -- and a 2MB
buffer that ensures the even flow of data when writing to DVD discs. It
also comes standard with a buffer underrun protection system that ensures
uninterrupted recording and perfect discs.
In addition to the new drive and software
suite, the package includes Memorex DVD media, an illustrated guide for
vertical or horizontal installation, an easy-to-follow manual, connection
cable, and a hardware set including audio cable and fastening
screws. |
