Hoewel er nog steeds geen grote standaard is voor het branden van DVD's, komen Compaq en Apple volgens dit bericht al heel snel met een DVD-recorder in hun machines. Volgens C|NET start Apple de verkoop van de nieuwe Powermacs met DVD-recorder zelfs al volgende week! Compaq volgt iets later in maart:
Could be, if Apple Computer and Compaq Computer have their way. Both companies are scrambling to offer the ultimate in amateur moviemaking: the capability to record movies onto DVDs via a computer.
Besides movies, the drives also can be used to make audio DVDs. Warner Music released the first DVD audio titles in October, setting the stage for a shift from music CDs to DVDs, which can be spruced up with music videos, games and links to online interactive content.
Apple is expected to unveil new Power Macs next week capable of recording DVDs and CDs, according to sources who warn that these plans could change at the last minute. Compaq this week announced a new Presario consumer PC with a combo DVD/CD recordable/rewritable drive. That system ships in March.
