Sonic Solutions to Offer HD DVD, Blu-ray Authoring Systems to Movie Studios

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on January 5, 2005 - 2:50am.
Las Vegas -- Sonic Solutions, a provider of professional and consumer DVD creation software, announced on Wednesday that it is developing systems for professional production of both HD DVD and Blu-ray next-generation high-capacity DVDs by Hollywood movie studios. Novato, Calif.-based Sonic said its HD DVD authoring system will be available in the summer of 2005. The company partnered with Japan's Matsushita (Panasonic) to develop a Blu-ray authoring system, but did not provide a timetable as to when the system would be available to movie studios. Both HD DVD, developed by Toshiba, and Sony's Blu-ray format will boost the capacity for DVDs beyond the current standard 4.5GB to up to 50GB per disc, enabling storage of high-definition video.
