Sonic forms partnership with Creative and Margi to provide solutions for GM. "DVD -- Much More than Movies"......... newsalert.com <<General Motors is installing a Sonic DVD Creator system for preparing content on DVD and has agreed to be one of Sonic's first in-house corporate users. "At GM, each year we create and distribute, both internally and externally, thousands of corporate messages that contain rich media content," said Mark Mathews, Senior Producer/Director of GM's Communications Support Group. "We see DVD as a logical evolution for some of our information delivery because it offers higher quality video and audio combined with engaging interactivity. With Sonic's DVD Creator, we have an integrated DVD production environment that allows us to produce much more compelling content." >> ***** <<According to PC Data, Creative has captured more than 60 percent of the multimedia upgrade market which includes PC DVD drive technology. Creative is focusing on the desktop market with its industry-leading PC-DVD Encore solution which includes the innovative Dxr2 Decoder board and the Creative Blaster(R) DVD-ROM drive. "With our new lineup of PC-DVD solutions, we are targeting computer-based training, interactive education and hybrid DVD/Internet applications," said Robert Napiltonia, Director of Sales for the Commercial Division at Creative. "We are pleased to be working with Sonic and the other Corporate DVD Partners to enable the use of DVD in corporate settings around the world." With its DVD-to-Go(TM), Margi Systems is the first to deliver a PCMCIA card for notebook computers. DVD-to-Go turns any ZV-compliant notebook into a mobile DVD player, and is designed for mobile professionals who use their notebooks for multimedia presentations, sales field force automation, interactive marketing or training. "Our users want to play DVD-based content anywhere -- in the boardroom, on a sales call, on the factory floor, on an airplane," said Dave Westin, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Margi. "By working with Sonic and the other Corporate DVD Partners, our goal is to make the DVD experience mobile and available in any setting. We are also working closely through our Team DVD Program with Sonic and leading notebook manufacturers to ensure that content will play back seamlessly for the end user." >>
