EDP Weekly's IT Monitor, Sept 29, 2003

InterVideo, Inc. (Nasdaq:IVII) announced recently that WinDVD Creator, InterVideo's award-winning movie-making software, will be bundled with all new HP notebook PCs. The first system shipping with WinDVD Creator is the new HP Pavilion zd7000 Series Widescreen Notebook PC, which is available with a DVD RW drive. Combined the software and hardware provide consumers with a fast, easy solution for capturing, editing, authoring and burning high-quality DVDs. The recorded videos can be played back on the notebook's high-resolution 17-inch wide aspect ratio display and TVs equipped with a DVD player or DVD recorder.

Designed to enable hassle-free video sharing, WinDVD Creator supports all of the DVD recording formats, including the DVD /-VR, DVD-Video and CD formats.

By connecting a camcorder or VCR to the notebook PC's IEEE 1394 port or one of the USB 2.0 ports, raw video footage can be captured to the notebook's high-capacity hard drive for editing. Using WinDVD Creator's editing tools, users can then remove unwanted scenes and enhance the video with titles, transitions, effects, background music, or DVD menus before burning a disc. With the software's Designer Menu Templates, even inexperienced users can create videos they'll be proud to share. For added convenience, the software includes Instant Playback of edits--users can preview their changes without having to wait while the video is rendered.
