MUMBAI: American entertainment company WonderWorks Entertainment has released its Mobile Matinee collection of eight classic movies and 12 audiobooks on three DVD-Roms for the growing iPod and iPhone market.

Pre-formatted for iPod, the DVD-Rom titles can import quickly to iTunes. They can be viewed on iPod, iPod Nano, iPhone, a computer or directly on TV by use of a 3-pin connector.

As the first to deliver iPod content on disk, Mobile Matinee represents a departure from conventional downloading.

WonderWorks CEO Rod Barkley says, "Our customers are interested in convenience and value. We think that DVD-Rom collections are a great way to simplify the process of getting content onto the iPod, while expanding consumer choices and delivering great value."

He added that the company's audiobook collection, with 12 novels and short stories on a single disk, would soon be followed by a second volume, and that a collection of independent films was in progress.
