New Software Provides Production Support for all Popular Optical Disc Standards

LONDON, England, Nov. 10th.—GEAR Software, expanding its leadership in production support software for optical disc recording, today introduced GEAR Pro DVD v2.0 for Windows 9X/NT. This new version of GEAR Pro software offers a reliable, powerful and comprehensive solution for production of DVD-ROM and DVD-RAM as well as CD-R.

Designed for a wide range of professional applications -- from producing a single disc at a user's desktop to pre-mastering for mass replication of digital audio, video or game titles -- GEAR Pro DVDv2.0 is the most comprehensive DVD/CD software on the market. The software makes it easy for users to take advantage of the large storage capacities (up to 17GB) available in the DVD format.

"CD-ROM readers are being replaced by DVD-ROM readers as users seek greater capacity for massive corporate databases and more complex and sophisticated multimedia productions and presentations," said Dyan Dyer, president and CEO of Command Software Systems, parent company of GEAR Software. "DVD-ROM is certain to be the medium of the future and the first choice when large data storage is required. We will continue to incorporate more features into our software as this new format continues to grow and expand."

GEAR Pro DVD supports output to DVD-R recorders, DLT tape drives, DAT and DVD-RAM. The product enables users to take advantage of drag and drop functionality and offers unique features like cyclic buffering for writing performance and reliability. GEAR Pro DVD also includes backward capability with CD-R(W) drives, ANSI labeled output for DVD/DVD file format, Orange Book multi-session recording, Disc at Once and Track at Once recording methods.

The recently released Pioneer DVR-S201 recorder is shipping across Europe with a full evaluation copy of the Gear Pro for DVD v2.0 software. The GEAR Pro DVD 2.0 for Windows 9X/NT is available immediately at a retail price of $699.00.
