Rocket DVD - automate the conversion and transfer of VHS tape to DVD

RocketDVD Professional Features

RocketDVD Professional is the first DVD Authoring system to incorporate high level DVD authoring functions in a fully automated solution for DVD creation and duplication.

• A completely integrated production solution, rather than a collection of standalone appliances.
• Automate the entire production process from capture to completed DVDs including printing.
• Controls are intuitive, point and click simple.
• Includes many high-end DVD authoring features which other systems lack.
• Truly labour saving - the system pays for itself in a matter of months.

RocketDVD Professional is the low cost solution for those who need to easily convert BetaSP, MiniDV and VHS  to DVD!  Including advanced tools and features of many higher cost packages, like custom menu creation, manual or automatic chapter insertion and custom case insert creation to name just a few, RocketDVD is your professional solution. 

RocketDVD Professional can operate standalone or be configured to work with other solutions to streamline your production flow.  RocketDVD Professional can operate with either MF Digital or Rimage publishers to go into full-scale production-- all without the need to create a master!  RocketDVD is also able to interface with our digital asset management package to take any of your video assets and put them on DVD with full menus and chapters automatically!
