- 13. The method of claim 1 wherein the writing is a physical burn-in process of the video and audio information.
- 14. The method of claim 1 wherein the method is under a control of a single microprocessing device.
- 15. The method of claim 1 wherein the converting, resizing, adjusting, processing, continuously transferring, and writing are provided using one or more computer codes.
- 16. A computer system for directly writing video information to optical disc media, the system including one or more memories, the one or more memories comprising:
one or more codes directed to converting a video information in a first format to a raw video information in an uncompressed format; one or more codes directed to resizing the raw video information in the uncompressed format into a size associated with a desired output media format and a desired TV standard and adjusting the uncompressed format in the size associated with the desired output media format and the desired TV standard to a frame rate associated with the desired TV standard; one or more codes directed to processing the uncompressed format in the size and the frame rate into an elementary video stream and processing the elementary video stream with audio information in the desired output media format and the desired TV standard to form video and audio information in-a presentation format including a beginning and an end based upon the desired output media format and the desired TV standard; one or more codes directed to initiate continuously transferring the video and audio information in the presentation format from the beginning through a common bus to an output for a disc writer free from an intermediary storage of the video and audio information from the beginning to the end; and one or more codes directed to initiate writing the video and audio information in the presentation format from the beginning to a first portion of an optical media while other portions of the video and audio information are being processed to the presentation format.
- 17. The system of claim 16 wherein the optical media is a random accessible media.
- 18. The system of claim 17 further comprising:
