InterVideo, Inc. announced that its family of WinDVD Creator Platinum 2 software video editing products have been enhanced with a new Dolby Digital Consumer Encoder (DDCE). With the new two-channel Dolby Digital audio encoder, businesses and consumers can now create DVDs with high-quality Dolby sound for a more in-depth listening experience. Developed by InterVideo in collaboration with Dolby Laboratories, the new audio encoder software has been granted Dolby Digital Consumer Encoder certification by Dolby Laboratories.
InterVideo's new audio encoder leverages the Dolby technology consumers have been enjoying in movie theaters and commercial videos for nearly a decade
. Dolby Digital also features the same technology specified by the DVD formats for stereo or multichannel surround audio on both PAL and NTSC DVD discs. As a result, Dolby Digital-encoded files created with WinDVD Creator 2 will be compatible with the broad range of consumer electronics players and recorders that support the DVD format.
Using audio captured from analog or digital sources, the InterVideo DDCE creates Dolby Digital audio files without sacrificing sound quality. The size of the encoded audio files are typically reduced by a ratio of 8:1, leaving more space on the disc for video.
