Well-known as the world's most popular DVD playback software, WinDVD is one of the first high-definition (HD) playback and navigation software solutions to deliver DTS-HD Master Audio. With DTS-HD Master Audio support, WinDVD provides true high-definition surround-sound that matches the crystal-clear HD quality of Blu-ray and HD DVD videos--at home or on the road. "Congratulations to Corel and its WinDVD video player for being among the first to provide DTS-HD Master Audio playback," said Brian Towne, senior vice president consumer/pro division of DTS. "DTS and InterVideo have worked together for many years, setting the pace for the highest-quality audio experience on a PC. We look forward to continuing that relationship with Corel as we work together to maximize the entertainment experience for consumers." Based on the DTS Coherent Acoustics coding system that is mandatory audio technology for both the Blu-ray disc and the HD DVD disc, DTS-HD Master Audio delivers audio at super-high variable bit rates that are significantly higher than standard DVDs-24.5 megabits per second (Mbps) on Blu-ray discs and 18.0 Mbps on HD-DVD.
