New Pinnacle HD DVD Authoring Pack

Avid Technology says that its Consumer division, Pinnacle Systems, has introduced the Pinnacle HD DVD Authoring Pack as the newest feature available within Pinnacle Studio Plus. The HD DVD Authoring Pack enables users to create High-Definition DVD movie discs – complete with HD motion menus – right within the Pinnacle Studio Plus software using current generation, non-HD DVD burners. Once consumers burn HD DVDs of their projects, they can show their home movies on available HD DVD players and HD TVs. The new HD DVD Authoring Pack is available as an add-on for existing Pinnacle Studio Plus customers.

The HD DVD Authoring Pack completes the HD workflow for Pinnacle Studio Plus customers by allowing them to:
- Create HD DVD format movie discs complete with menus, as well as motion menus;
- Blend a combination of HD and SD (standard definition) footage, and still photographs to create stunning HD movies; all SD content is automatically up-sampled to the appropriate HD resolution;
- Use a standard DVD burner to convert HD DVD format discs straight to standard DVD media;
- Play HD DVD discs on the Toshiba and new RCA HD DVD players, and display on any HD TV.
