InterVideo has added new Personal Video Recorder (PVR) capabilities and DVD burning functionality to its InstantON technology, a Linux-based media-centric operating system that it hopes to license to PC makers as a dual-boot option. InterVideo claims InstantOn boots in under 10 seconds, turning standard x86 PCs into complete Linux-based home entertainment centers operated by remote control.

PVR adds time-shifting capabilities that allow users to pause and replay live TV and record favorite shows for later viewing. The new DVD burning feature allows users to quickly burn TV programs and videos directly to DVD.

More details about InstantOn are available here.
