Sonic brings next generation HD interactivity to DVD with eDVD 4

Sonic Solutions has announced the release of eDVD 4, the latest version of Sonic’s powerful content enhancement solution for DVD.
The first point-and-click application of its type, eDVD will allow content authors to enhance standard DVD titles with interactive features like those planned for next-generation high definition (HD) disc formats.
Compatible with any DVD authoring software, eDVD gives DVD-Video viewers a dynamic, web-linked user experience when played on PC or Macintosh, and increases entertainment value by providing an on-screen presentation environment that integrates both video and bonus content.
“The release of eDVD 4 gives our customers a unique advantage in a very competitive DVD authoring market,” said Clint Ludeman, Vice President of Marketing for Sonic’s Professional Products Group, “With eDVD 4, DVD authors are able to differentiate themselves by making discs that are more interactive, provide more information, and give the audience a more compelling viewing experience. They can offer their customers additional value by making DVD an even richer and more powerful way of communicating their message.”
Enhanced content supported by eDVD includes high definition video files, MP3s, Flash animations, PDF (portable document format) files, high-resolution graphic files, and even executable applications.
eDVD brings this diverse supplemental material together with a DVD’s video content into a single, customizable interactive presentation. In addition, eDVD enables a DVD title to support unlimited links to the Internet, thereby enabling ongoing access to updated material and making it easier for disc publishers to develop revenue-generating connections to their audience.
eDVD 4 has been shaped by extensive research that allowed Sonic to incorporate features and functionality based on input from thousands of commercial DVD authors and video enthusiasts.
