C-Cube Microsystems Inc and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd last week demonstrated a consumer class DVD-RAM recorder which enables video to be recorded in MPEG-2 format. The firms claimed to be the first to demonstrate a workable technology utilizing the DVD Forum’s DVD Specification for Video Recording (DVD-VR). The prototype was developed by Samsung and uses C-Cube’s Dvxplore and Ziva-3 MPEG codecs, which allow features such as slide shows, still frame capture and karaoke.
