The latest version, PowerDVD XP 4.0, comes with all the best features for DVD enjoyment and also supports playback from the new DVD+RW drives available in the market. In addition, CyberLink is currently developing DVD authoring and burning (writing) tools that will be offered in the upcoming PowerDirector 2.0 Pro and PowerProducer, new applications designed to provide advanced yet easy-to-use video editing and movie production tools which allow consumers to create video productions on DVD+RW disc media.
"As DVD+RW products for the PC and consumer electronics categories continue to roll out, we see new possibilities and applications for consumers," said Frans C. Bos, steering committee chairman of the DVD+RW Alliance. "With the help of leading software vendors such as CyberLink consumers have access to easy-to-use applications to create custom DVDs."

"We envision a great future for this format and we're excited about working with the other members of the Alliance to promote its usage."
About
DVD+RW
The DVD+RW format is capable of recording up to 4.7 gigabytes of digital video,
images or data. This equates to the storage capacity of seven CD-R/RWs and the
potential to store thousands of digital photographs or approximately two hours
of digital video. According to the DVD+RW Alliance, the primary benefit of DVD+RW
is its two-way compatibility, meaning that DVD+RW media can be played in most
DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives in use today. In addition, the DVD+RW format
supports write once DVD+R capability. To date, more than 40 companies support
the DVD+RW format.
