FEATURE DESCRIPTION
New User Interface
MMC 7.7 gives you the choice of three user interfaces for many of the MMC applications;
Classic, Modern and Tranquility (TV Player, DVD Player and Stills Gallery). Choose your
favorite, mix and match and get a look that reflects your style.
Chapter Preview
Chapter Preview is a feature of the DVD Player and is used in conjunction with the Bookmark
feature (new to MMC 7.5). Bookmarks allow you to set markers within a DVD movie to return
to for later viewing. With the Chapter Preview feature, when a bookmark is restored, you can
watch the first 10 seconds of each chapter before the bookmark as a reminder of what you’ve
previously watched.
DVD Subtitle Support
Often called “DVD-Subber” files, these are external files that allow you to add subtitles to a
movie when the necessary language isn’t offered on the disc. For example, you can add
English sub-titles to a Japanese disc. In addition, you have the ability to search and seek
through the sub-title content – using it as a transcript of the disc.
Video Capture Enhancements
SVCD Compliant Captur
e: Now you can capture video directly in a Super Video CD (SVCD)
compliant format.
48kHz Audio Suppor
t: Capture your favorite TV shows as a DVD compliant MPEG-2 video file
with true 48kHz audio to watch at a later time, create your own home movie and share with
friends.
USER BENEFITS
a.) An enhanced multimedia experience with a complete suite of applications.
b.) A new user interface that allows you to customize the TV Player, DVD Player and
Stills Gallery to reflect your own unique style.
c.) A mature feature set that lets you get the most out of each application.
d.) Improved MPEG capture that records TV shows or home movies while maintaining
an amazing level of video quality.
USAGE SCENARIO
You’ve rented a great DVD movie and you’ve just bought an ATI graphics card that came with
MMC 7.7. You pop some popcorn, put the DVD into your computer, launch the MMC DVD
Player and are about to enjoy – but it is in Japanese, without subtitles! No worries, you’ve got
the external DVD English subtitles that ATI’s DVD Player supports and you are soon watching &
enjoying the movie. Part way through you decide it is time for bed, but don’t want to miss your
spot in the movie, so you bookmark it. The next day when you sit down to watch the movie
again, it starts up right where you left off – and with the Chapter Preview feature you are able to
view the first 10 seconds of the chapter to remind you of what was going on.
