2003-01-20: CD/DVD video recording made easy
PoINT AVSDK offers integrators and software developers programming interface to produce Video CDs, Super Video CDs and DVD Videos
SIEGEN, Germany, January 20, 2003. The new CD/DVD Audio/Video SDK (AVSDK) by PoINT Software & Systems includes an easy to integrate programming interface to produce Video CDs, Super Video CDs and DVD Videos. AVSDK helps integrators or software developers in the areas of video editing and DVD authoring with the formatting and the actual burning of CDs or DVDs without requiring knowledge of the complex formatting specifications. Thus, no development resources are necessary for the integration of CD/DVD recorders. Especially with regards to the very short product life of the CD/DVD recorders this constitutes a high savings potential.
As source data MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files as well as PCM and WAVE streams are used. The C/C++ based programming interface supports all 32-bit Windows operating systems. For the PoINT AVSDK different licensing models from a single user license to unlimited use are offered that cover all customer demands.
