ObjectCube has just announced what they claim is the most comprehensive download to DVD software on the market.

This software is already in use by some of the bigger programs and is now being offered to studios and video-on-demand providers that are looking to deliver direct-download services to their customers.

ObjectCube Chief Executive Officer Jay Janarthanan says “All they have to do is take a DVD from the shelf, use our software to create an image, and from that image they create a downloadable format. You get all the menus and chapters and everything you would on a regular DVD, but without all the re-encoding,” he says. “It’s the next step in technological evolution.”

In a few cases, users might only be able to burn single copies of movies, or they will not be allowed to download to DVD if it’s been 30 days since a title was purchased. It will be up to each studio or VOD provider to determine which restrictions may apply.

“There are a lot of things happening in the next few years: You’re going to have set-top box players with Internet connections, and you’ll be able to download movies onto your hard drives. But, until that happens in the U.S., this is a great substitute for the next two or three years.” says Jay.

This announcement follows ObjectCube’s release of Version 6 of their Download Manager, which allows users to download large movies at up to 1000 times faster than is allowed by the browsers.
