DVD Explained

Mature Technology + Incredible Future

Most people today have heard about DVD -- and for most, DVD means Hollywood movies. As one of the most successful consumer technology introductions in history, with millions of players and thousands of titles already delivered, it is no wonder that Hollywood is what people think of first. But DVD is also delivering in many ways the public has yet to realize.

The nature of DVD's success lies in a true business revolution with the convergence of the computer, entertainment and consumer electronic industries. Hundreds of companies have combined forces to jointly develop and support a single technology that meets all their collective needs for media delivery.

Despite its youth, DVD is a mature technology with a proven standards-based foundation that is already generations beyond anything achieved by prior technologies such as CD-ROM or VHS.

DVD is one of those rare developments that significantly impact the marketplace on almost every level simultaneously. From consumers looking for exciting new entertainment, to production and post production companies hoping to maximize profits, to corporations needing to communicate with their customers and train their employees, and universities needing to develop competitive distance education programs, DVD has opened broad new avenues for delivering all forms of digital content with incredible video and audio quality.

Motif strives to be constantly innovative in providing new ways to offer truly exciting and engaging DVD experiences.

Convergence: Web-Enabled DVD

Web sites designed and maintained by Motif can take full advantage of "convergence" technology, technology which is rapidly changing the DVD experience.

Convergence-based products create a fully interactive DVD experience by seamlessly synchronizing with Internet content. For example, a training course using DVD will connect directly with a Web site that offers two way interactivity for tasks such as testing in real time. Motif's services bridge the gap between Web design companies, software developers, e-commerce companies, production and post-production companies by being the focal point which facilitates the convergence of technology and media.
