Ulead's New GoDVD: SVCD + DVD

[wkulecz]

I've seen FUD clains that HP will introduce its DVD-RW at ~$500 this summer or fall.

Given that Pioneer has real product to show and HP nada as far as I can tell, I'm skeptical but hopefull.

Based on some info in Electronic Engineering Times, as far as stand-alone DVD players go, it shouldn't matter if HP/Sony/et.al.'s DVD-RW or Pioneer's DVD+RW formats win, as its the computer side -- the RW part -- that is different, the DVD-R formats of both are supposed to be compatable with existing players. Unfortunately some marketing dweebs definition of "compatible" may not match ours.

IM-riktar,

try demultiplexing and remultiplexing your video and audio to get rid of the FF rewind problem.

I make a lot of XSVCDs (modified SVCDs).

The best thing about them is that they allow a variable bit rate. You can use an average bit rate of 1M/s and get some great quality. I usually drop the vide size down to the standard VCD because of the lower bitrate. But, these SVCDs look good.

Ulead is now confirming GoDVD will be available as a plug-in for MEDIASTUDIO PRO and not just VideoStudio 5:

Guess that says it all. VCD/SVCD/DVD authoring in both VS5 and MSPro6.

Looks like everyone (Ulead, Pinnacle etc.) is finally getting the idea that we don't just want to put our videos on VHS

'bout d**n time!!
