NewSoft has announced Presto! VR Genius, the first software editing suite designed for use with home DVD Recorders and PVRs.

Presto! VR Genius enables users to quickly and easily edit out unwanted commercials and age-inappropriate material.It also enables users to convert their recorded content from DVD VR (which can only be played back on a DVD recorder) to DVD-Video that can be played back on any DVD player or DVD-equipped desktop or notebook computer.

Set-top-boxes and home DVD recorders are one of the fastest growing segments in the consumer, high-tech market. Consumers want to watch their favorite television programs when it is convenient for them, and truth be told, the majority will scan past all the commercial breaks. Presto! VR Genius not only enables users to quickly and easily edit out unwanted content-, but the newly edited content can also be saved in a read-anywhere, DVD-Video format that can be viewed from any DVD player, including: your PC during your lunch break, your notebook during a flight, your DVD player in your car to keep the kids entertained while traveling… the options are endless.

“Unfortunately, as convenient as home DVD recorders are, they still chain viewers to their television sets,” said James Li, President of NewSoft Technology. “Presto! VR Genius is easy enough for virtually anyone to use, regardless of computer experience level. With VR Genius, those who already enjoy the convenience of recorded TV can quickly and easily edit their recorded content, and convert the format so they can view their content whenever and wherever they choose. It is the ideal companion for today’s home entertainment and home theater systems.”

Offering Windows OS compatibility, Presto! VR Genius adds exceptional value to the DVD recorder market and to home users themselves. Presto! VR Genius takes users beyond the limited editing features and capabilities of today’s set-top boxes and Home DVD recorders, enabling users to watch exactly what they want to watch, when and where they want to watch it.
