DVDit! (image)

Sonic DVDit! - A next-generation DVD production system, Sonic DVDit! combines a rich set of high-end features with incredible ease-of-use, making DVD production approachable in a way never before possible.

Imagine this ... You need to create a presentation that combines sharp, broadcast-quality video with earthshaking digital sound. You want a video-based company training session, nonlinear interactivity and direct links to the internet. All on a disc that fits into the palm of your hand and plays back on over 50 million PCs and set-top players worldwide. 

DVD is the breakthrough that makes it all a reality. Combining stunning media content with universal compatibility, DVD is powerful in its capabilities, inexpensive to distribute and has become the worldwide standard for distributing high quality digital video. Sonic Solutions' DVDit! is the first easy-to-use DVD publishing system designed specifically for multimedia producers and video professionals. 

DVDit! is a product that grows with your needs - whether you're producing looped video tracks for kiosk presentations, or creating a complex training title, the DVDit! family of products truly offers something for everyone. DVDit! writes to CD-R for PC playback, and DVD-R for PC and consumer set-top playback!
DVDit! is designed for the artist in you, not the technician. Every part of the production process is intuitive, from drag-and-drop video and audio assembly to interactive storyboarding. You'll start with your edited AVI video and audio files - DVDit! automatically transcodes them into the correct video and audio formats required for DVD. Drag-and-drop your video and audio content to create interactive presentations, multi- language training applications or virtually any other interactive video content you can think of. When you're finished, DVDit! records your content directly to DVD-R or CD-R for distribution.

DVDit! Standard Edition (SE) builds on the technology offered with DVDit! LE and is available either as an upgrade or stand-alone. DVDit! SE offers multiple menus, integrated video transcoding and chapter point placement.
