Pioneer Electronics (USA) has introduced two DVD/CD computer writers featuring Qflix DVD Download & Burn technology; these writers, said the company, "Allow users to take advantage of this exciting technology while expanding their entertainment collections with a tangible, familiar media that will maintain into the future."
Jointly developed by Pioneer and Sonic Solutions, Qflix is an emerging DVD technology that gives consumers the opportunity to purchase licensed Hollywood films. "Consumer adoption of digitally distributed entertainment will happen at a far greater rate than the extinction of the DVD player," said Mark Ely, executive vice president of strategy, Sonic Solutions.
"Qflix is an important and necessary bridging technology that allows content owners to deliver a more flexible product that combines the convenience of digital distribution with the permanency and portability of the DVD."
For home audiences who were previously relegated to viewing downloaded content on a small computer screen, Pioneer's new writers with Qflix technology enables users to preserve digital content for playback on standard DVD players and then watch it on a big screen television.
