Roxio MyDVD powers new Canon DVD camcorders

Sonic Solutions, the world leader in digital media software, has announced that its award-winning MyDVD software, has been chosen by Canon for bundling with their new Canon DVD camcorders, the 2.2 Megapixel DC20 and the 1.33 Megapixel DC10.
The easy-to-use camcorders, small enough to fit in a jacket pocket, record high-quality digital footage directly to 3-inch (8cm) diameter DVD-R/RW discs. By including MyDVD, Canon makes the camcorders even more convenient to use, allowing customers to maintain the recordability of their camcorder discs while quickly and easily preserving recorded footage to settop-playable DVDs.
"Bundling Roxio MyDVD enhances the value of our new camcorders by giving consumers an easy way to make high-quality DVDs from the video footage they record," said Yuichiro Asano, General Manager of Video Products Group at Canon. "We look forward to expanded sales of these new DVD camcorder products as consumers realise the benefits of using the camcorders together with MyDVD."
The DC20 and DC10 bring the convenience and functionality of DVD technology to digital camcorders by recording up to 60 minutes of video (120 minutes on a double sided disc) on 3-inch (8cm) diameter DVD-R/RW discs. The camcorders include the ability to easily locate scenes without having to rewind or fast forward, to create playlists of favourite scenes, and to do some quick editing. Once finalized (closed to further recording), the recorded discs are compatible with most DVD players, both old and new.
With the included MyDVD software, users will be able to take advantage of two ways to transfer recorded footage from a PC-connected DC20 or DC10 to a settop or desktop-playable DVD. Using the exclusive One-Touch Dubbing feature, MyDVD will make a straight dub of the recorded footage with just a single press of the camcorder’s Print and Share button. Alternatively, the recorded footage may be imported into MyDVD for quick-and-easy creation of Hollywood-style menu-driven DVDs using powerful features such as integrated video editing, motion-video menus, animated buttons, and slideshows with transitions and soundtracks. MyDVD is also OpenDVD-compliant, enabling previously burned DVDs to be opened, re-edited, updated with new content, and re-burned to DVD and CD recordable/re-writable media.
