DVD and CD writing software suite
CeBIT 2003, Hannover, Germany - March 12, 2003 - B.H.A
Corporation today announced B's STUDIO, the new DVD and
CD media management and creation software suite for Windows.
Supporting all current DVD and CD storage technologies,
the integrated software solution contains a wide range
of easy-to-access features for creating, converting, playing
and storing content on optical discs: Video, music, backup,
photo and data.
B's STUDIO includes easy-to-use applications for video
capture and DVD-Video creation, data and music recording,
DVD movie playback plus a fully-featured video editor.
By clicking the B's STUDIO Toolbar on the desktop, the
user will be able to go straight to the function called
for: for example, record or copy CDs/DVDs, create a DVD-Video
disc with custom menus, write audio CDs from MP3 files,
back up the hard disk, capture or edit video, play a DVD
movie and much more.
"With B's STUDIO, BHA is offering consumers an all-in-one
integrated media solution that satisfies most needs related
to DVD and CD recording," said Masaharu Yoshihara,
President and Chief Executive Officer of B.H.A Corporation. "Because
of the decrease in price for DVD recorders, DVD creation
is within anyone's reach today - B's STUDIO offers a complete
set of ideal tools for consumers to create, store and play
any type of content on DVDs and CDs," added Mr. Yoshihara.
In order to provide customers with the best tools available
for DVD-Video creation, BHA has formed a strategic partnership
with leading DVD-Video recording software developer MedioStream,
Inc. and the two companies will join forces to provide
all-in-one, easy to use DVD and CD recording solutions.
B's STUDIO incorporates MedioStream's award-winning neoDVD,
which offers the fastest and easiest way for users to create
their own DVDs or Video CDs.
To create a DVD-Video title from material on a digital
or analog camcorder, users simply have to connect their
video camera to their computer, click the Capture button
on the B's STUDIO Toolbar and start the video capture process
- the video is converted to high-quality DVD format in
real-time or can even be written directly to the DVD recorder.
B's STUDIO's intuitive templates and drag-and-drop functionality
also make it possible to create professional-looking DVD-Video
discs in minutes, including multiple level menus, chapter
points, slide shows, transitions or background music. Users
of DVD+RW recorders can create and update discs in the
new Video Recording (VR) format that enables editing parts
of a DVD-Video disc without having to rewrite the entire
DVD. Furthermore, B's STUDIO contains a fully-featured
video editor and a software DVD-Video player for viewing
homemade or commercial DVD-Video titles on the computer.
In addition to video creation and editing, B's STUDIO
includes extensive audio CD writing functionality including
filtering, editing, "Direct Cut" live recording
and MP3 CD creation. Sharing photographs is also easy with
the Digital Camera Backup and photo album CD functions.
To safeguard data or simply share files with others, B's
STUDIO contains all the data recording features from BHA's
renowned CD/DVD recording application, B's Recorder GOLD5.
