Sonic introduces AuthorScript Photo Slideshow SDK for digital photo applications and devices

Sonic Solutions, the world leader in DVD and CD creation software, has announced the release of its AuthorScript Photo Slideshow software development kit (SDK) for the digital photo application and devices industry.
The newest version of Sonic’s industry-leading DVD and CD burn engine for the Windows and Linux platforms has been specifically designed to make it easy for developers of products such as photo kiosks, minilabs, photo software, and online photo services to add Hollywood-quality DVD photo slideshow creation to their products.
“Thousands of photos can be put on a DVD for viewing on hundreds of millions of TVs and PCs worldwide, making DVD the ideal format to store and share digital photos,” said Jim Taylor, general manager of Sonic’s Advanced Technology Group. “With Sonic’s AuthorScript Photo Slideshow SDK, application developers can rapidly add DVD and Video-CD output to their products, giving their users the ability to create eye-catching interactive slideshows with music soundtracks, professional video transitions, and custom menus. AuthorScript can also copy the original photo files onto the disc, giving users a full-quality digital archive of their photo data along with their slideshow.”
The AuthorScript Photo Slideshow SDK is an ideal way for product developers in the digital imaging business to take advantage of the booming popularity of DVD.
