InterVideo WinDVD Creator 2 Now Shipping With HP Pavilion Desktop and Notebook PCs
June 14, 2004 InterVideo, Inc. announced today that it is now providing WinDVD Creator 2, its award-winning movie-making software for HP Pavilion notebook and desktop PCs. InterVideo WinDVD, the  industry's leading DVD playback software, is also included on the HP notebook and desktop PCs.
With InterVideo WinDVD Creator 2 and an HP Pavilion PC equipped with a DVD burner, home and home office users have a complete, ready-to-use multimedia solution. InterVideo's innovative software lets them quickly capture, edit, author and burn professional-looking DVDs or VCDs using a single, integrated interface.(1) This eliminates the need to learn and switch between several applications. To simplify home video sharing, WinDVD Creator supports all the DVD recording formats, including the DVD+/-VR, DVD-Video and CD formats. "We're proud that WinDVD Creator is now being included with both the HP Pavilion notebook and desktop systems," said Steve Ro, president and CEO of InterVideo. "We are committed to offering users, including owners of HP Pavilion hardware, leading software technology that makes it easier for them to get more out of their digital content through a high-quality, intuitive multimedia experience."
By connecting a camcorder or VCR to the IEEE 1394 port or one of the USB 2.0 ports on PCs equipped with an analog capture card, raw video footage can be captured to the computer's hard drive for editing(2). Using WinDVD Creator's editing tools, users can then remove unwanted scenes and enhance the video with titles, transitions, effects, background music, or DVD menus before burning a disc. With the software's designer menu templates, even inexperienced users can create videos they'll be proud to share. For added convenience, the software includes instant playback of edits -- users can preview their changes without having to wait while the video is rendered.
"Providing our customers with the tools and technology needed to enhance and enrich their lives is a top priority for HP," said Marla Denning, Worldwide Product Marketing Manager, Consumer PC Global Business Unit at HP. "WinDVD Creator appeals to users with varied levels of experience and provides our customers with a solid, all-in-one solution for everything from capturing or creating videos to burning DVDs."
In addition to WinDVD Creator, WinDVD and InterVideo Home Theater are included with other HP computing systems.
