SONIC SOLUTIONS AND AVID TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATE

SONIC Solutions have announced that Avid Technology have integrated and are shipping Sonic AuthorScript technology in their Avid Symphony 3.1, Avid Media Composer 10.1, Avid Xpress 4.1 and Avid Xpress DV 2.0 lines of editing systems.
With the integration of Sonic AuthorScript, Avid system users now have the ability to ‘create DVD’ from video and audio projects in the Avid timeline directly to DVD-recordable devices.
Rob Kobrin, Vice President of Worldwide Product Marketing at Avid, said: "By integrating Sonic AuthorScript technology into our editing systems, we are enabling video and film editors to publish directly to DVD from their Avid editing systems. With the arrival of low-cost DVD recorders, Avid and Sonic are giving users the capability to publish DVDs for their own use and to expand the services that they offer their clients."
Sonic's AuthorScript libraries are available now for license from Sonic and can be compiled directly into Windows ME, SE, 2000 or XP applications and Macintosh applications, enabling direct publishing of video, pictures and audio onto DVD-recordable and CD-recordable discs in DVD-Video, Video CD and Super Video CD formats.
