Seems I recall Wave having some PR with Sonic Solutions some years back?

Dell (Dell) has partnered with Sonic Solutions on a device that lets people take a movie downloaded to a PC from CinemaNow and burn it onto a DVD for playback on most standard players.

The Qflix external DVD burner is available in the United States as an option with most Dell Inspiron, Studio, and XPS notebooks. The device, released Monday, is also available separately through Dell's online store and will be available soon as an option on select consumer desktops. The drive is priced at $120.

Qflix is the name of Sonic's patented technology platform for burning DVD titles with the company's digital rights management software to prevent duplication. Most DVD players support the platform, which includes Sonic's Roxio Venue recording software.

The Qflix DVD burner includes two recordable DVD discs, the Roxio Venue application, CinemaNow software, and a USB cable. Movies must first be downloaded to a PC through CinemaNow and then burned to a DVD through Qflix.

The device only records on its own recordable DVDs. Roxio Venue and CinemaNow software must be installed on the PC.
