Addressing a hot-button issue among consumers, a maker of DVD-burning tools unveiled software designed to make discs recorded on Windows Media Center PCs compatible with standard DVD players. Sonic Solutions' MyDVD for Windows XP Media Center Edition, a new version of an existing program, and PrimeTime, an entirely new tool, will make TV shows burned to discs by way of Microsoft's specialized OS playable on most DVD players, Sonic said. Until now, people could generally only play such DVDs on PCs or players supporting Microsoft file formats--a restriction that chafed many users.
