Sonic launches TiVo service-enabled DVD creation solution for PC

Sonic Solutions has launched MyDVD Studio 6.1, the world’s first line of TiVo service-enabled DVD creation solutions for the PC.
Shipping this month, the new version of Sonic’s award-winning MyDVD software is optimised for seamless integration with the TiVoToGo service enhancement from TiVo Inc.
The combined Sonic and TiVo technologies will for the first time allow TiVo subscribers to use their PCs to transfer, view, and burn to disc (DVD-Video or Video CD) the shows they record on their home-networked TiVo boxes.
“We’re excited to be working with Sonic to offer our customers new capabilities that enhance the value of their TiVo subscriptions,” said Matt Wisk, Chief Marketing Officer at TiVo. “The TiVo-enabled version of MyDVD Studio will make it easy for our subscribers to take their favourite shows with them wherever they go, whether they want to play them back on a laptop, or burn them to a DVD to watch anywhere.”
Using MyDVD Studio, TiVo subscribers will be able to easily record programmes they’ve recorded on their TiVo boxes directly to a DVD-Video disc.
