Ulead announces DVD Workshop 2

Ulead Systems have announced the launch of DVD Workshop 2, the next version of the professional DVD authoring software.
With its initial launch, DVD Workshop offered DVD authoring software to provide an intuitive workflow with built-in creative design tools. DVD Workshop 2 maintains this straightforward, design-centric workflow, while offering more professional DVD authoring features for creating compelling DVDs for worldwide distribution.
Features include multiple subtitle and audio tracks, playlists and professional output with support for Digital Linear Tape (DLT) and dual layer DVDs (DVD-9). DVD Workshop 2 targets creative professionals who want to produce sophisticated DVDs with a minimal learning curve.
DVD Workshop 2 lets users include alternate music, languages, and commentaries in DVD projects with multiple audio and subtitle tracks. Playlist creation enables professionals to link a sequence of assets — movies, menus, and chapter points — to buttons without duplicating assets. This saves disc space and allows for intricate menu navigation. Replicating DVD titles is now possible with DVD Workshop 2’s support for Digital Linear Tape (DLT), along with dual layer DVDs (DVD-9) for replicating discs with double the capacity for large projects.
The new version also offers copyright protection with support for Macrovision and CSS formats, as well as region coding to control which geographic region can view DVD titles.
“I am confident that this new version of Workshop offers the same advanced DVD features, but without the complexity found in other applications in its class”, said Mark Wurdemann, Marketing Manager Ulead Systems, UK. “ With these new additions, Workshop is the ideal tool for anyone--whether they work in video production, corporate marketing or entertainment--to make sophisticated DVDs.”
Ulead DVD Workshop 2 is available from selected video specialist resellers and the Ulead online mall.
Existing DVD Workshop users can upgrade to version 2 at a reduced rate.
