DACS To Meet On May 1

DANBURY — For its May 1 general meeting, the Danbury Area Computer Society (DACS) is inviting Randy Whittle to speak about MGI Software. The meeting will take place at Danbury Hospital Auditorium starting at 7 pm, with the main presentation at 8 pm.

Randy Whittle’s presentation will mostly focus on two products from MGI Software, PhotoSuite 4.0 and VideoWave 4.0, two programs for photos and videos. PhotoSuite 4.0 is a complete PC photography solution. VideoWave 4.0 allows users to capture, edit, produce, and share videos on a PC, videotape, and over the Web. Special effects, transitions, sound tracks, and on-screen text effects can be added.

 Also to be shown are PhotoVista 2.0 and SoftDVDMax 4.0. PhotoVista incorporates full-featured stitching capability enabling VR-style walk-throughs and immersive panoramas, enabling users to create stunning panoramic views with tools especially made for use in Web pages. SoftDVDMax incorporates an exclusive “Dolby Headphones” feature, enabling mobile users to experience a surround-sound cinema experience right through ordinary headphones.
