Magix Movies on CD and DVD 4

Magix, a media software company, will release Movies on CD & DVD 4. For those of you unfamiliar with the previous versions of the software, this is a video authoring tool. Here are the newest features included in the latest version:

• Copyright-conforming backup copies and 1:1 DVD & (S)VCD duplicates
• MovieShow Maker with rhythmic editing and 12 styles
• Fully automatic TV ad killer
• Enhanced MPEG2 handling

• Enhanced MJPEG import options

This is a cool all-in-one type of software.  You can make backups of your DVD’s - legally, according to them- bypassing those pesky copyrights usually blocking you from making copies of your DVD’s.  However, it also converts your DV movies.  An additional feature which I find extremely useful is the overburning CD-R’s If you like to make SVCD’s and VCD’s this is perfect for getting 900MB out of your burnable CD’s - pending on your burning hardware and CD-R manufacturer.  The software comes out September 15th and will retail for $39.99.  So go ahead and start
