In fact, as soon as you plug in, you can burn discs, create great-looking home videos and digital photo slideshows and complete a wide variety of other projects."

Ease-of-Use, Plus Support of All Major Recordable DVD Formats and Connectivity Options

And because it supports both major DVD recording formats (+ and -), Indi DVD creates discs that can be played in virtually any home DVD player.

Indi DVD Multiformat Changes the Way Memories are Shared

The powerful, easy-to-use external Indi DVD Multiformat burner allows anyone to create Hollywood-style DVD videos. Up to two hours of high-resolution DVD-quality footage (or up to four hours of better than VHS-quality footage) can be included on a single 4.7GB DVD disc. As a result, it's easier than ever to share precious memories with friends and family.

The new external Indi DVD Multiformat burner was designed to make creativity and sharing simple and fun. Just returned from vacation with hours of camcorder footage and hundreds of digital photos in tow? Indi DVD makes it amazingly easy to select the most memorable moments and create a single DVD that includes digital images, video footage and background music. And thanks to the included Roxio DVDMax software, commercial DVD movies, such as those rented from the local video store, can be played on the PC.

Power and Simplicity: A Complete Video/Audio/Data Software Solution

TDK's comprehensive version of Roxio's Easy CD & DVD Creator software suite is the most powerful bundle ever included with a drive.

Featuring both DVD editing and authoring, the DVD Builder software enables rapid importing and editing of footage to create dynamic, entertaining videos. Aspiring directors can manipulate the order of clips within a movie simply by dragging and dropping. Transitions, professional quality menus, special effects, graphics, text titles and music can be added with ease. Indi DVD and Roxio's DVD Builder make creating Hollywood-style DVD videos so effortless that friends and family will be absolutely amazed by the results.

With AudioCentral, entire music collections can be played, ripped, organized and burned to CD or DVD. The ultimate tool for creating digital photo slideshows, PhotoSuite Lite allows importing, editing, organizing and sharing digital images like never before. Copying discs becomes a straightforward affair with Disc Copier, while Drag-to-Disc offers drag-and-drop DVD recording. Creator Classic features a wide variety of recording modes that will satisfy advanced users and beginners alike. As if that's not enough, Label Creator makes it fun for anyone to design custom DVD and CD labels.
