NewTech Infosystems (NTI) is now shipping Media Maker 8. The new software suite simplifies and complements today's digital lifestyles by providing a single solution for recording data, Blu-ray data, audio, photos and video on CD and DVD discs. Designed for both novices and experienced Windows PC users, Media Maker 8 offers all of the features that made NTI's CD & DVD-Maker software so popular plus a host of new ones, including a new, fun-to-use launch pad that puts a whole new "spin" on easy navigation.

For added value, NTI Media Maker includes a Video Converter to convert videos for playback on an iPod, PSP, Zune and other portable video players. With Video_TS split, the software can be used to create DVDs from the video collection stored on the user's hard drive on one or more DVDs without losing any image quality. Media Maker also includes NTI Photo Maker which enables users to quickly import, edit and share their digital photos and slideshows; NTI Ripper for ripping and archiving music; and NTI Digital Jack for playback of music collections.

For added convenience, Media Maker supports Multi-Burning so multiple drives can be used to create CDs and DVDs from at the same time. The software suite also features a new Test Drive utility for testing media as well as optical and hard drives. And to optimize media storage capacity so videos can be recorded at a higher resolution, NTI DVD Fit can be used to copy only the movie, leaving out the extras. Once a task has been set up, users can take advantage of a new Computer Turn Off, Hibernate, Standby, or Log Off feature that will automatically turn off the PC when the task is completed.

In addition to the Audio Editor for personalizing MP3, WMA, WAV and OGG files and professional features such as Audio Cross Fade for smooth transitions between songs, Media Maker includes NTI Tagger, an ID3 Tag Editor for organizing music files by song name, artist, year, album, etc. With the Music DVD tools, users can even create music DVDs complete with album covers, artist photos, trivia, and song names.

Ready to use out of the box, the retail version of NTI Media Maker 8 comes with an MP3 encoder and a DVD MPEG-2 encoder/decoder to create and play DVDs. NTI's Home Video Maker is included for a complete movie-making and editing suite with DVD authoring.

NTI Media Maker 8 can be used with Windows 2000/XP/Vista systems. The software supports multiple languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish and Traditional Chinese.
