speeDVD Counts On Spruce DVDStationô As The Hotrod In Its DVD Production ""Garage""

29-Mar-00

The speeDVD Co. is using DVDStationô-MX from Spruce Technologies to stake a leading position in the Hollywood DVD production market. The team of John and Joe Torcello has completed over 290 projects since going to the turnkey DVD authoring solution from Spruce in February 1999. John Torcello, a partner in speeDVD, said, ""We are challenging the norm of how Hollywood studios produce DVD titles for distribution by doing high-quality, high volume work from a small shop. Spruce's DVDStation-MX has been a major reason why we have been able to achieve the level of success we have. The system is specifically designed with features that let you work quickly, creatively and maybe most importantly, flawlessly. Over 90 percent of our projects pass review on the very first evaluation. We are very productive."" Spruce DVDStation-MX is a complete DVD encoding and authoring solution that integrates Spruce's flagship, award-winning DVDMaestroô authoring system with Spruce's industry-leading MPX-3000 hardware encoder in a high-performance Windows NT computer. Torcello continued, ""The price for DVDStation-MX is remarkable given the amount of power it gives you. One of the key features for us is the real-time previewing system. It lets us review our work and do quality control continuously throughout production making it very easy to make creative changes and identify problems in the title early. The authoring environment as a whole is also very efficient and powerful. ""Someone once referred to speeDVD as a garage operation,"" says Torcello. ""I just laughed and said, 'Well you have to park the Ferrari somewhere.' 290 titles for a couple of guys in the work environment of their choosing is not bad at all.""
