DVD Studio is similar to CD Studio, but uses a combination CD-R/DVD-R recordable drive instead of a CD-R only drive The CD/DVD drive lets you record DVD-R discs at up to 16X DVD speeds, and CD-R discs at up to 40x speeds.

Use DVD Studio for any application that requires the ability to record DVD and CD discs:

• Archiving and distributing large data sets
• Developing and testing CD/DVD applications
• Developing and testing multimedia content
• Archiving video and audio files

Like other members of the Studio family, the independent controller offloads recording tasks from your host computer and as a result, recording consumes only minimal host resources.

DVD Studio's non-invasive, controller-based design eliminates OS interference and lets you record discs without buffer underruns. Upgrading to automated recording is simple and does not normally require any new coding or integration work.
