Roxio has worked closely with Philips to enhance its buffer management techniques in Easy CD Creator to prevent buffer underruns in the high performance drives from Philips," said Tom Shea, Chief Operating Officer of Roxio, Inc. "The new burn engine in Easy CD Creator will significantly reduce a common user problem in high speed CD recording." |
"Philips is committed to continual improvements in the ease-of-use and robustness of CD-Recording. Philips values the close co-operation with Roxio," said Lucien Bertotti, Product Manager for Philips Consumer Electronics. "Roxio's PureBurn engine fits exactly with Philips' strategy to make the CD writer 'intelligent' and thereby take the burden away from the end-user. Our 'intelligent' drives, featuring TBW (Thermal-Balanced Writing) technology, match the excellent Roxio PureBurn engine to yield the optimal solution in CD Recording."
