Sonopress, a subsidiary of the arvato storage media group, is actively processing orders for HD-DVD. The global operating replicator of data and information carriers offers its clients premastering, mastering and replication for the new format.
"We are actively processing orders for HD-DVD. The first discs are produced at our site in Weaverville, USA, while authoring takes place in Gütersloh. We will soon be ready for production in Gütersloh as well," says Hans-Peter Hülskötter, CEO arvato storage media.
Authoring for this high-resolution format is technically very demanding and requires the work of specialists. HD-DVD offers numerous new possibilities such as fading in a second video with the director's commentary for a running film.
