Sonic introduces double layer DVD creation technology

Sonic Solutions has expanded its HyperMux DVD formatting technology to include advanced algorithms specifically designed to support the new DVD+R Double Layer (DL) recording format.
Sonic’s new HyperMux-DL engine leverages the company’s successful history of creating multi-layer disc authoring systems for Hollywood studios by applying advanced title layout, buffer management, layer-break management, and frame selection technologies to consumer DVD creation applications for the first time.
"Sonic has been creating dual-layer DVDs since 1996, and we have gained unmatchable experience with the nuances, pitfalls, and technical complexities of making dual-layer discs perform optimally in the broadest number of consumer players," said Jim Taylor, General Manager of Sonic’s Advanced Technology Group. "DVD+R Double Layer technology represents a major breakthrough in recordable DVD, and we are proud to be playing a key role in its introduction, giving our consumer and professional customers the most reliable and technically advanced solution for supporting additional video and data capacity."
