NEW FEATURES IN VERSION 2

WHAT'S NEW IN VERSON TWO

Creating DVDs with the Casablanca has delighted users particularly thanks to its very high picture quality, great reliability, real-time conversion (DVD DICON) and ease of use. Version 2 of the software offers many valuable and user-requested enhancements.

A DVD created using the Casablanca can now be played directly on the Casablanca. This not only applies to a newly created DVD but also to the virtual DVD that is stored on the Casablanca's hard drive. This allows users to check the (potential) final results and optimize them if necessary before actually writing the data to DVD.

The menus can now be designed with greater freedom and the backgrounds can even be created using moving video footage with sound. You can freely select the sample images and can display them in various sizes.

There are now no restrictions when positioning on-screen elements and creating text.
