UFSD chosen for FCP Digital Cinema Package drives

Paragon Software's Universal File System Driver (UFSD) has been chosen for use in the QuVIS Wraptor Digital Cinema Package for Apple's Final Cut Studio. The Mastering plug-in for Final Cut will allow users to create a digital cinema content distribution Ext2/3-formated hard drive. UFSD technology was developed by Paragon to provide cross-platform access to volumes of major file systems (ext2/3, HFS+, NTFS, FAT32) under multiple platforms like the Mac, along with Windows and Linux. The UFSD format, embedded into the Wraptor plug-in, allows Mac users to deliver an industry standard hard drive for distribution.

The Wraptor Digital Cinema Mastering Plug-in for Final Cut Studio 2 retails for $700. It requires Final Cut 6.0.4 or later, Compressor 3.0.3 or higher and Mac OS X 10.5 or above.
