Sonic AuthorScript, the world standard in authoring, makes it easy for application developers to add a broad range of CD and DVD technologies into their applications and to support the widest array of DVD and CD burners. A flexible award-winning solution, AuthorScript contains modules for converting video and audio data into DVD-and VCD-compliant streams, formatting and burning DVD-Video and VCD projects, data mastering on recordable DVDs and CDs, music CD ripping and burning, DVR recording and timeshifting, and DVD-Video and VCD playback.
Available as a software development kit (SDK) with extensive APIs, AuthorScript provides start-to-finish support for DVD creation. This is just part of what makes AuthorScript an ideal solution for developers seeking to add DVD support to their applications. With AuthorScript, you will be able to:
- Automatically and easily integrate DVD and CD authoring, burning and playback engines appropriate for applications in a 2-foot (PC) or 10-foot (living room set top box) viewing environment, providing users ultimate flexibility within their workspace.
- Enjoy the highest possible level of compatibility, provided with no additional effort on the part of the application developer and resulting in higher customer satisfaction.
- Support the new OpenDVD specification — the easiest way to create DVD titles that can be re-edited, revised, and changed over time.
- Choose from various software and hardware encoding solutions. With Sonic's plug-in encoder architecture, you can use Sonic's real-time encoding module or a separately licensed compatible third-party encoder. Developers with their own encoder can easily modify it to plug into AuthorScript.
Dozens of leading software companies, including Microsoft, Adobe, and Avid, have already staked their reputations on the AuthorScript API. AuthorScript has been licensed by industry-leading companies including Adobe, AOL/Time Warner, and Sony. It underlies Sonic's DVD applications including MyDVD®, DVDit!™, and RecordNow!™, which are bundled by major OEMs such as Adaptec, Compaq, Dell, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, Matrox, Memorex, Nova, Panasonic, Philips, Pioneer, Sony, ViewSonic, and many others.
