Newest Version of DVD-Playing Software Sports Over 30 New Features Including Remote Control, Video Desktop and Improved Time-Stretching |
| FREMONT,
Calif., July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- InterVideo, Inc. today announced the
immediate retail availability of WinDVD 4 and WinDVD 4 Plus, the
latest versions of the InterVideo's popular DVD player. WinDVD 4 and
WinDVD 4 Plus feature over 30 new features and enhancements such as
easier-to-use Time-Stretching and Video Desktop -- which lets you
watch movies under your desktop icons while you work or check email.
"With over 150 customers, including Dell, HP and Sony, InterVideo has been successful selling its software through the OEM channel," said Steve Ro, CEO and co-founder of InterVideo. "Our new functionality and greater availability through retail outlets make WinDVD 4 and WinDVD 4 Plus InterVideo's most robust and accessible DVD-playing products yet." WinDVD 4's and WinDVD 4 Plus's proprietary Time-Stretching feature allows a user to play a movie faster or slower without distorting the audio -- and with full multi-channel audio support. With its updated time-stretching capabilities a user can utilize new "Finish by ... " and "View in ... " commands to control the time the movie will end. For example, a user might choose "Finish by 10:00 pm" or "View in 1 hour" and the playback speed of the movie is automatically adjusted by WinDVD 4 and WinDVD 4 Plus -- ideal for business travelers who want to get the most out of short flights and battery life. Time-Stretching is not available on any other DVD player. WinDVD 4 and WinDVD 4 plus also feature new
enhancements like: -- Video Desktop which enables users to play movies as desktop wallpaper,
behind the desktop's icons and windows
-- TV Out Support which makes it easier to use your computer as a living
room DVD player
-- The ability to play DVD content from a hard drive directory, a vital
feature for playing content from DVD authoring software or downloaded
MPEG-2 files
-- Unique Screen Capture Utility is an integrated browser to easily
capture, save and sort images from DVDs.
In addition to all the functionality of WinDVD 4, WinDVD 4 Plus also adds:
-- Full TV Color Adjustments to adjust brightness, contrast and color just
like on a TV
-- Gamma Correction to adjust the overall brightness and color saturation
of the movies on your screen or monitor for perfect viewing every time,
even outdoors
-- High End Audio like DTS Digital Sound, Dolby EX and Dolby Pro Logic II
