Vitec's DVD TOOLBOX.................................dvdinsider.com Make or Reprocess Your Own DVD-Video On Your Home PC for Only $399 - 12/27/99 VITEC Multimedia, a leader in MPEG technology, has just developed the DVD TOOLBOXT. This product revolutionizes the video production capabilities of the home PC. Now any home PC user has the ability to create a simple, interactive DVD-Video that can be stored on hard disk, CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-RAM and of course on a DVD-R; and be played back on a full screen, with full motion, full color with full interactive control. DVD TOOLBOX includes all the necessary tools to encode AVI into DVD compliant elementary streams, edit DVD streams in MPEG-2 format, produce DVD-Video by organizing DVD chapters and playback DVD with an integrated software DVD player. The DVD TOOLBOX will take an AVI file (Audio Video Interleave -- commonly used format for audio/video data for the PC) and turn it into a DVD-Video Compliant MPEG 1 or 2 file. Through the use of the new proprietary DVD DirectT features from the encoder, the file can then be authored, edited or modified and placed on a wide range of media with its own DVDMAKERT authoring software. "VITEC is pleased to present another industry first...the DVD TOOLBOX, according to Lionel Zajde, sales and marketing manager for VITEC Multimedia. "There is no other product on the market today that offers the many features that our product has at this price point. The reprocessing of existing VOB files, proven encoding quality and full editing capability make our product truly one-of-a-kind," he added. The DVD production kits on the market today produce a DVD-Video that cannot be modified, only played back. Through the use of proven VITEC software included in the Toolbox (Video Clip MPEG-2T and MPEG RemixT) you can reprocess your own DVD-Video by editing, changing the audio, add new footage, make modifications and reproduce a brand new DVD-Video. Market applications of the DVD TOOLBOX are wide ranging and include the home PC user, sports events, to small and large corporations. Authoring and editing a DVD-Video for high quality interactive presentations, educational uses, promotional and most other multimedia purposes gives users the ability to add that extra degree of finesse to any project. DVD TOOLBOX will begin shipping in mid-December '99.
