TotalMedia Theatre fully supports the Blu-ray specifications. Besides great video playback and seamless switching between formats, this means you can play the latest Hollywood movies, plus take advantage of interactive content like game play and Internet connectivity through the new BD-Java technologies.
Video Capture, Edit, and Share: BDMV
Use the TotalMedia Studio application to capture, edit, and author customized high definition (or standard definition) content, like photo slideshows and home movies. It is for making discs that contain scene selection menus and chapters. Simply follow the steps along the top of the screen and design your own scene selection menus or use the provided templates. Then burn your content to BDMV disc or DVD.
Video Capture, Edit, and Share: BDAV
Use the TotalMedia VR application to capture, edit, and author personal video content, especially recorded TV shows or HDV or DV discs transferred directly from your camcorder or HDTV tuner. You can also use it to capture video direct to disc in real-time. Your disc will have real and virtual playlists of videos and photos. Choose video clips or slideshows to add to your BDAV project, or edit the playlists of an existing project, then burn your content to BDAV disc.
Music and Data
TotalMedia Extreme isn't just about video. You can create audio CDs to play in your car or from your home stereo system. You can rip your audio CDs to hard disc in a variety of formats, and you can copy CDs easily. Both music and data discs are easy to create or duplicate, whether you prefer CD, DVD, or BD format.
Backups and Data Mastering
Whether your most important files are audio, video, email messages, or Internet Explorer favorites, the TotalMedia Backup, TotalMedia Record, and Utilities applications let you easily back up and restore everything you can think of. Simply click one button to select all your irreplaceable files, then click once more to back them up to CD, DVD, or BD. You can also create or rip audio CDs and create and copy disc images. It's a complete data mastering solution!
