Bothell, WA...Software Architects, Inc. (SAI) announces shipment of WriteDVD! for NT - the first software utility providing everything you need for a DVD-RAM disk drive running Windows NT.
WriteDVD! is based on the world's first commercially developed read/write Universal Disk Format (UDF) file system. Following DVD Forum specifications - the international standard for running DVD-RAM drives, SAI's WriteDVD! is the first "plug and play" software utility product line that runs re-writable DVD-RAM drives on Windows NT PCs.
Announcing the shipment SAI President Robert Zollo commented: "SAI is excited to extend the powerful capabilities of DVD-RAM to the Windows NT community worldwide. SAI is the first to offer DVD-RAM capability to Windows 95, Windows 98 and Macintosh users and the worldwide standard for DVD-RAM systems. SAI is dedicated to providing Windows NT users the software necessary to take advantage of the immense multimedia and data storage benefits of using DVD-RAM on all PC platforms."
Key Benefits
DVD-RAM's long term presence in the marketplace is assured not only because of the incredible low cost, high quality and truly versatile multimedia and data storage solutions it presents but also because of the combined commitment the computer and entertainment industries have demonstrated in developing together a universal standard. As a member of the DVD-Forum as well as long time member of the Optical Storage Technology Association (who first proposed UDF to the DVD-Forum), SAI's knowledge and expertise in applying the global standard is unparalleled.
