The Arabesk Software is used to create Video DVDs and Blu-rays for years. The authoring software is very popular among the Casablanca-3 users and is available for both Windows Bogart, as well as Casablanca-3, Enterprise MAX HD and DVC systems. With the 7th generation of Arabesk, many users' wishes can be realized. Now the DVD/BD production is even more efficient - and even easier.
