B.H.A. Ships The Company's First DVD-Video Creation & Recording Software

[J.A.F._Doorhof]

B.H.A Corporation reported that shipments of its first DVD-Video creation and recording software, B's DVD, have begun in the U.S. B's DVD enables users to create, author and record DVD-Video titles in a single, quick and easy step, enabling users of all experience levels to create their own professional-looking DVD-Video discs from video clips either on hard disk or captured from a DV camcorder.

With B's DVD, the user simply selects a template, drags and drops a video file, and clicks "write" to start writing to a DVD+RW or DVD-R recorder. This intuitive utility encodes, formats, authors, and records without further user interaction. The included range of professionally designed templates automatically sets the look and feel of the finished DVD-Video disc, including backgrounds, button positions and color schemes. To ensure flexibility, the software also provides more advanced users with expanded options to create hierarchical custom sub-menus, import graphics for menus and buttons, as well as store DVD disc images on hard disk.

In addition to using prerecorded MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and AVI files as the video source, users can capture video directly from a mini DV camcorder connected to a FireWire (IEEE-1394) port. Two video capture modes are available: "automatic" for hands-free operation and "manual" for full control capture operations. Captured video clips can be quickly cut to desired length using the "Easy-Trim" function. These clips are then automatically available on the DVD's menus and chapter listings for easy retrieval.

B's DVD includes a "DVD Slide Show" capability allowing digital photo enthusiasts to create personalized photo collections, which can be viewed from any standard DVD-ROM drive or DVD-Video player. Combining slide shows and video to the same DVD, users can create custom DVD content that can be shared with friends, relatives and business associates for a broad range of applications. B's DVD is built with proprietary high-quality encoding, authoring and recording technologies, all developed by BHA.
