Movielink LLC has licensed technology that allows the online movie service's customers to transfer downloaded films to DVDs for playback on standard DVD players.
The deal announced Monday with Sonic Solutions clears a technological hurdle for Santa Monica-based Movielink, but the company still lacks permission from Hollywood studios to offer their movies for DVD burning. To date, only adult entertainment company Vivid Entertainment has sold films to consumers online for direct copying to DVDs through an agreement with CinemaNow, a rival of Movielink.
Movielink is jointly owned and operated by five Hollywood studios — Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal Studios and Warner Bros.
