CyberLink Introduces New Digital Movie Making Software at CES 2003

CyberLink's PowerDirector Pro and PowerProducer enable anyone to enter the exciting world of home digital movie production on the PC.

Las Vegas, NV, CES, (January 3, 2003)-- CyberLink Corp., a leading software developer of digital video entertainment applications and e-learning solutions, today announced that it will be premiering two home movie-making software programs at CES this year in Las Vegas. With the rapid growth in camcorder sales and the increased power of today's PCs, the door has been opened for the average person to produce digital movies at home. CyberLink's PowerDirector Pro 2.5 and PowerProducer offer both intermediate and novice users complete digital video capabilities, from video capturing, editing, authoring, and burning to playing and streaming on the personal computer. Users are able to assemble great-looking movies that can easily be viewed on a PC or TV, conveniently stored, then shared with friends and family.

PowerDirector Pro is a complete video editing software for video enthusiasts to tap into their creative talents and produce amazing movies on their home PC. It offers a full range of editing features and a user-friendly interface to capture recorded videos and create Hollywood-style productions in a matter of minutes. These movies can then be output for viewing on the Web, transferred back to DV tape or burned onto CD or DVD, complete with interactive menus, through PowerDirector Pro's Disc Making Wizard.

PowerDirector Pro is currently bundled with major PC, graphic card, and CD/DVD writeable drive manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard, Pioneer, TerraTec, Medion, Sparkle, and many others. The PowerDirector Pro version is available in three different burning configurations to meet the specific needs of OEM customers:

? PowerDirector Pro DE (OEM): Supports all popular optical media and burns directly to all popular DVD and CD writers. Disc formats include DVD, VCD, SVCD, and miniDVD.

? PowerDirector Pro ME (OEM): Targeted at PCs and high-value CD-R/RW drives, this version supports VCD, SVCD and miniDVD burning on CD-R/RW devices.

? PowerDirector Pro VE (OEM): Targeted at value-oriented CD-R/RW drives, the VE version burns in VCD format only.

For those looking for a faster, simpler and more direct route to producing home digital movies, CyberLink has recently launched PowerProducer. This new software takes advantage of the rapidly growing CD and DVD burning market and offers novice users a tool to assemble stylish movies and photos quickly and easily to produce home movies and photo slideshows on DVDs or CDs.

Where PowerDirector Pro aims at providing users with user-friendly editing tools for creative movie making, PowerProducer focuses on speed and ease of use. It is a completely Wizard-based program that features a simple interface that walks users step-by-step through the whole process of making a CD or DVD movie with chapters and menus. In addition, PowerProducer's Smart Video Rendering Technology (SVRT), auto scene detection, QuickBurn function, and convenient I-Help guide make home movie production faster and easier.
