A complete software DVD solution, developed entirely by NVIDIA, NVDVD utilizes an enhanced, state-of-the-art video decoding engine to deliver users a sharper, more true to life video image. NVDVD's integrated Dolby(TM) Digital® support delivers the benefits of Dolby Surround® technology for users with multi-channel sound cards.

Other NVDVD features include:

     NVIDIA nView(TM) Support -- NVIDIA NVDVD takes full advantage of NVIDIA's
     nView(TM) multi-display functionality, providing support for video
     mirroring -- allowing for full-screen DVD playback on one screen, with

     select and control the color settings of their display's entire visual
     output, via a simple control panel, delivering a dynamic DVD experience
     on any type of display.

     Advanced Frame Capture -- NVIDIA NVDVD allows end users to capture
     high-quality snapshot images from video in the original or adjusted size.

     Auto-Resume -- Allows end users to automatically resume playback of a
     video if playback was stopped prematurely or closed temporarily.

NVDVD supports all of the industry standard DVD APIs, including DirectShow(TM), DirectDraw(TM), DirectSound(TM), and DirectX® Video Acceleration. The NVDVD architecture is uniquely scalable and tightly tailored to the DVD specification and the intricacies of the PC system environment, providing the most seamless navigation experience available. NVDVD will be available for distribution to and by OEMs and system integrators immediately.
