InterVideo To Demonstrate WinDVR At Fall COMDEX

InterVideo, Inc. (""IVI"") today announced that it would be demonstrating at fall COMDEX real-time software encoder technology that will drive its new digital VCR, WinDVR. InterVideo's digital video recorder will allow PC users to capture and store video and audio in highly compressed MPEG2 files. Users will also be able to begin watching the content being recorded while WinDVR continues capturing, a phenomena known as time-shifting. ""Digital VCR's will be the centerpiece of PC convergence technologies,"" stated Joe Monastiero, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for InterVideo. ""WinDVR will open a whole new world for consumers, allowing them for the first time to affordably record ultra-high quality video and audio on their PCs. Additionally, the concept of 'pause TV' will revolutionize the way people watch television when connected to a PC."" WinDVR will provide functionality on the PC similar to that introduced earlier this year by Replay TV and TiVo in the consumer space. Users will be able to program WinDVR to capture their favorite TV programs to their hard disks for later viewing. Or they can watch programs while they are being recorded, pausing whenever desired and skipping over ""undesirable"" content. WinDVR will include playback capabilities made popular by InterVideo's successful DVD software player, WinDVD. WinDVD has won widespread acclaim for its high quality video and audio decoders. WinDVR will work with any current generation video capture board, allowing television program recording and time-shifting with the presence of a TV tuner module. The encoder technology included in WinDVR will offer users the ability to capture various resolutions, frame rates and formats, up to 720x480 pixels and 30 frames per second. Users will be able to capture and save video and audio from any live source or transcode previously captured content, from sources like .avi files, to smaller MPEG2 files. WinDVR will provide users with a wide variety of capture and control options, including common, user-friendly profiles or presets. The software takes full advantage of MMX, SSE and 3D-NOW! acceleration instructions from Intel and AMD. InterVideo will be demonstrating WinDVR, WinDVD-2K and other new technologies at Fall COMDEX in Las Vegas November 15th-19th in the LVCC at booth LSC03-04.
