Ashampoo GmbH & Co. KG announces support for
revolutionary new Blu-ray disc format.
Ashampoo announces that the next maintenance
release of its popular Ashampoo Burning Studio 5 (v5.5) will add support for the
new Blu-ray Disc format.
Blu-ray Discs come in two sizes: 25 GB and 50 GB.
As such they offer between 5-10 times the space of DVDs, which is enough for
huge amounts of data and hours of high quality video. Many experts expect that
Blu-ray discs will replace DVDs in the coming years.
The Ashampoo Burning Studio 5 (v5.5) will support
the Bluray format in addition to the established CD and DVD formats. The
integration is seamless: Blu-ray Discs are burned in exactly the same way as any
other disc.
"Because ease of use is very important for us we
really didn't want to have a special 'Blu-ray mode'. Users don't care about the
specific technical details, they just want to burn their files to a disc", the
project leader Jan-Eric Duden said. "So we invested considerable time to
implement a system that automatically detects the disc type and adjusts the
details of the burning process accordingly, depending on whether it is a CD, DVD
or Blu-ray disc", he continued.
The new version of the Ashampoo Burning Studio 5
(v5.5) is currently undergoing final testing and is expected to be released
shortly. The exact release date will be announced soon.
