Sonic Solutions has announced that Sonic AuthorScript has been included in Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, Microsoft's consumer operating system. Sonic AuthorScript is integrated within Media Center Edition 2005, giving the ability to burn recorded TV shows, videos, and photo slideshows to DVD directly from the Windows Media Center Edition OS. Additionally, AuthorScript automatically optimizes DVD video quality to perfectly fit the selected shows onto a disc.

AuthorScript also incorporates Sonic's SmartStyles technology, which replicates the Media Center Edition user interface in the DVD-Video disc menus, giving users a consistent and familiar experience when they play the DVDs they create. AuthorScript also enhances the Windows Movie Maker feature of Windows XP Media Center Edition, enabling users to burn their edited videos to DVD directly from within Windows Movie Maker.
