DVD goes corporate By Christina Follmann (christina_follmann@macweek.com) Sonic Solutions Inc. this week is shipping a Digital Video Disc production system tailored for businesses. Sonic DesktopDVD is a $39,999 single-workstation system that creates digital video and DVD-ROM content. It consists of the company's DVD Producer authoring and PrePlay proofing software and its MPEG-2 video encoder card. The authoring software has a built-in QuickTime decoder, and it lets users drag and drop audio, video, and graphics files into the application. DesktopDVD supports files from Avid Technology Inc. and Media 100 Inc. nonlinear video editing systems, bypassing videotape and the consequential generation loss, Sonic Solutions said. It will also accept input from a video deck. The PrePlay software lets users preview their projects in real time. The DVDStudio MPEG-2 video encoder card features MPEG variable bit-rate, constant bit-rate video compression and Dolby Digital stereo audio processing. The system uses a digital signal processor and RISC multiprocessing technology. It allows video and audio compression in MPEG and MPEG-2 for video, and PCM, MPEG and AC3 Stereo for audio formats, Sonic Solutions said. A project completed on DesktopDVD can be transferred to digital linear tape or DVD recordable discs. DesktopDVD requires a Power Mac G3/300 system, 128 Mbytes of RAM, an 18-Gbyte hard drive for content and a 2-Gbyte hard drive for the DVD system - or a drive combining those capacities, the company said. It runs on Mac OS 8.1 or later and requires a DVD-ROM drive. The system also requires a 20-inch monitor running in 24-bit color at a resolution of 1,024 by 768 pixels. Sonic said DesktopDVD is a trimmed-down version of its $100,000 DVD Creator system, which is aimed at the film and video entertainment industries. www8.zdnet.com
