28-Oct-03

Wanlida has introduced the DiVA 489, the first DVD recorder to record using Microsoft's Windows MediaÆ 9 Series video compression (WMV9) for digital video recording to DVD and CD, as well as playback of streamed and downloaded video.Giovanni D'Andrea, President of Aeon Digital Corp. stated, ""The DiVA's innovative support for Windows Media will allow consumers to record three times more programming on a single DVD or CD than any other DVD recorder on the market today."" ""Consumers can now record more of their favorite content onto each DVD and CD thanks to the DiVA recorder's innovative use of Windows Media 9 Series,"" said Jason Reindorp, Group Product Manager in the Windows Digital Media Division at Microsoft. ""Users of the DiVA will also enjoy playing back their home movies they made with Windows Movie Maker 2, adding another fun dimension to this all-in-one unit."" The DiVA plays back home movies created with Windows XP and Windows Media Video as well as DVDs, browses the Internet, and records TV programming much like a VCR but using DVD+R/RW and CD-R/RW discs. Recording time on the digital recorder varies with the type of media used. A standard CD-R/RW can hold two hours of programming and a DVD+R/RW can hold more than six hours of DVD-quality content using the built in MicrosoftÆ Windows Media 9 encoding, and more than 15 hours of recording on a recordable DVD using a lower bit rate. Aeon Digital is also building the network that comes with the DiVA to deliver content from the Internet into the consumer's living room TV using plug-and-play technology, direct to the Internet of the future. The broadband streaming of content will be the video store direct into a consumer's living room. Aeon Digital has aggregated over 1,000 hours of entertainment-related content.For more information about Aeon Digital Corp., visit www.aeon-digital.com.
