Molly gets the word out, just using e-mail............... Molly McCarthy Public Relations (408) 490-8017 molly.mccarthy@c-cube.com here's what she sent............. dvdfile.com Letter #2 From: Molly M. Subject: I wanted to fwd some DVD news from C-Cube (www.c-cube.com). You may or may not know that our MPEG-2 encoding technology was critical to enabling the market for DVD authoring. Our silicon is in nearly all the DVD authoring systems on the market. Most recently our MPEG-2 encoding silicon was used to create the Titanic DVD. There were lots of challenges in the Titanic DVD encoding project, none less than the extreme demands of Paramount and Lightstorm. They required perfection in the encoding process and we were the only solution that could compress the over-190 minute film onto a single dual-layered DVD disc without visible artifacts. For a company that lives and breathes MPEG-2, and has been perfecting MPEG-2 compression algorithms for more than 10 years, encoding Titanic is perhaps the penultimate opportunity to show off what we've accomplished. Aside from the encoding, the DVD authoring portion of the project was taken on by Daikin (who you may be very familiar with). Authoring Titanic was an intense process by far. I just want to thank Molly for this email message and show you how much heart was taken into bringing this all time box office champ to DVD. I really hope to get some dialogue going with Molly and perhaps bring a good article to DVDFILE.COM on what goes on behind the scenes. Many people have gotten steamed by the fact that Titanic is not 16x9. Well, after this thoughtful email by Molly, I can't wait to purchase the disc and check it out. More coming from me on C-Cube in the near future. Thanks Molly, and I will contact you soon! Our readers would love to know more, as would I.
