Two major trends in the DVD Copy 6 Plus target market
The PC is becoming a video hub
•
•
•
The PC is increasingly becoming the center where users receive video files, play, store and
repurpose them, and distribute them to other devices.
Downloaded movies come in formats like DivX®, H.264 and MPEG 4, and users want to
transfer them to either mobile devices or to disc-playable formats such as DVD or DivX.
Camcorders in new HD formats like AVCHD are gaining in popularity, and users need to
archive their footage, as well as convert their video to formats that can be easily distributed.
Increase in popularity of video-capable mobile devices
•
•
•
•
MPEG 4 and H.264 are the most common formats for a large percentage of mobile devices.
iPod®, PSP™ and Zune™ have energized the PMP market, with other video-capable devices
from Archos, Creative and SanDisk gaining popularity.
iPhone® has quickly established itself as the must-have mobile device, with the justannounced iPod touch generating a lot of interest.
Smartphones and 3G phones are also experiencing growth, with video recording and
playback as popular features.
