Reads video DVDs from DVD camcorders and recorders
- Now you can also import videos from DVDs that you have recorded
directly with your DVD camcorder or TV recordings on your
living room DVD recorder. Ideal if you would like at long last
to convert recordings into video films of convincing quality
and embellish them with attractive DVD menus.
100% liquid cutting and arranging
- You too can benefit from the leading-edge technology of the
professional real-time engine. Cut and arrange your DVD, MPEG,
and even HDV recordings without any time delay and with optimum
processor utilization, picture composition, and video
presentation will be calculated for you in the back-ground
without you noticing a thing. HDV material can be played on
systems running at 3 GHz or more without any ripples or breaks.
Automatically generated background music
- With the integrated MAGIX Soundtrack Maker you can produce your
own individual background music without any difficulty,
changing the musical mood to suit the course of your
recordings. Simply select a style, from classical to relaxed to
sports, and the music will follow the tension curve that you
identify with only a few mouse-clicks, e.g. playful, action, or
romantic. This is because only suitable background music can
bring audible life to your videos.
"Magnetic" objects and new decorative elements
- With the suitable output material you can follow the movement
of individually specified pixels in background videos of any
videos, photos, decorative elements or texts automatically -
just like a magnet. Decorate people, even when they're moving,
with funny accessories (glasses, new haircuts, etc.), point to
special picture elements with arrows, have speech bubbles
follow faces or make faces unrecognizable with black bars, just
like you know from TV reports. Create great picture-in-picture
effects with videos and photos. In addition, new, practical and
funny decorative elements are also available.
Thematic intros & outros
- Add a thematic background to your entire movie to match the
theme (for example, holiday). Use intro sequences to set the
tone of your video. The automatic transition to the first scene
makes sure you have a nice and smooth introduction. Matching
outros round off your presentation perfectly.
Burn analog recordings to video DVD in realtime
- Save yourself having to buy a DVD VCR which costs a lot of
money as well as takes up a lot of space. Burn various analog
sources straight to video DVD and in realtime. Directly record,
for example, your favorite TV shows onto disc via the TV card.

recorders in one fell swoop onto DVD and view the results
straight away on any DVD player.
Thematic 3D fade series

much more.
- With the new data burning module, MAGIX Goya burnR, you can now
create 1:1 copies of already burned video discs and backups of
your video projects even more easily. Furthermore, you can also
effortlessly compile and burn music and photo CD/DVDs as well
as autostart-enabled PC slideshow CDs/DVDS.
Smart rendering for videos as well with AC3 sound
- Smart rendering makes videos possible that have already been
recorded in MPEG format, so that no unprocessed passages need
to be calculated all over again prior to burning. If an AC3
filter is installed (available online free of charge) this will
also work for videos that contain soundtracks in AC3 format.
You thus save time, for instance, if you simply want to archive
unchanged on disc the recordings you have made from a DVD
camcorder or recorder, TV recordings from DVB receivers, or
video DVDs that are not copy-protected.
Audio mixer with real-time automation
- Adjust the volume and panorama sequence of your soundtrack
simultaneously to match the course of the video. Ideal for
