Linux MediaDirectTM for Dell Inspiron 1405, 1505, 1705...

"Dell Exclusive: MediaDirectTM featuring Instant Office"

How about a version of MediaDirectTM that is based on Debian Linux? It could use free software like Debian Linux, OpenOffice.org, xine media player, mplayer, and other such open source software. If you needed to, you could even base it all off software like Linux Media Center Edition or even non-free Intervideo LinDVD... Intervideo's DVD Multimedia Software Solution for Linux. They do embedded player software (LinDVD) for Linux driven products for manufacturers like Dell. They are the makers of popular WinDVD in case you didn't know already.

Why InterVideo's embedded Linux DVD software?

For DVD playback on consumer electronics, InterVideo's LinDVD is the ideal choice for consumer electronics manufacturers because it shares a code base with the world's most popular DVD player, WinDVD. Not only has InterVideo's DVD navigator been tested with over 2000 DVD titles - more than any competing product - but it also provides VCD, SVCD and DVD VR navigation, making it the most complete solution available in the market. Plus, LinDVD supports different forms of hardware acceleration for video and audio playback, including motion compensation on X86 platforms, and also various hardware MPEG and AC-3 decoder solutions.


Does InterVideo make other embedded Linux products?

In addition to LinDVD, InterVideo also has components to support MP3, PVR (Personal Video Recording) and video editing implementations on Linux. Further, InterVideo has a partnership with MontaVista Linux for CE embedded applications and over the next year we will be introducing several set-top reference designs based on X86 and MIPS processors. Plus, more and more of these devices are being designed to connect to the Internet, meaning that they can benefit from InterVideo's home networking and streaming technology on both Windows and Linux. Not only that, Microsoft has designated InterVideo as a provider of their Windows Media Technology for Linux based CE devices, further leveraging InterVideo's cross-platform strengths.


What's next?

InterVideo's embedded Linux versions of its DVD, DVR/PVR, MP3 and video editing applications are currently available to manufacturers...
