Adaptec, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADPT - News) today announced the availability of MyDVD Media Suite software that enables home computer users with a DVD or CD burner to create and play professional-quality DVDs and CDs containing movies, home videos, digital photo albums, music and backups of important documents.
"Millions of users worldwide have enjoyed creating CDs with their favorite music or to store and share multimedia documents," explains Jeff Loebbaka, vice president and general manager of Adaptec's Desktop Solutions Group. "With Adaptec's MyDVD Media Suite, we're taking that to the next level, enabling users to create DVDs and CDs containing music, movies and multimedia -- all in a simple-to-use software package."
Adaptec, a leading supplier of desktop PC solutions for connectivity, storage and multimedia, is teaming with Sonic Solutions (Nasdaq: SNIC - News), the world's leading provider of solutions for DVD creation, to deliver MyDVD Media Suite. The new product leverages Sonic's leadership in bringing the latest DVD-creation technology to top Hollywood movie studios and consumers alike.
"The DVD is the fastest-adopted consumer electronics product in history," Loebbaka continued. "With rapidly increasing acceptance, DVD recorders are expected to replace CD recorders as the standard media storage device for PCs. Adaptec and Sonic are making it as easy to create multimedia DVDs as it has been to create music CDs on a personal computer."
