Dolby Laboratories of Thursday said that Microsoft Corp. will incorporate Dolby decoding and encoding technologies for online and file-based content into all versions of Windows 8. The pact ensures the presence of Dolby Digital format on Windows ecosystem beyond Blu-ray or DVD and creates the opportunity to bring a differentiated audio experience to Windows-based PCs and tablets. What should be noted is that PC makers will be forced to pay for DD support.
"With the incredible growth of online download and streaming media, particularly for video content, this agreement ensures a great audio experience for those consumers who wish to download or stream TV and movies containing Dolby Digital Plus. Additionally, all of their existing and future home videos recorded with Dolby Digital Plus audio will work great on Windows 8 right out of the box," said Tami Reller, chief financial officer and chief marketing officer for Windows and Windows Live at Microsoft.
