CyberLink and Questar reach agreement and announce arrival of new applications: PowerDVD 5, PowerDirector Pro and PowerProducer

Taipei, Taiwan, 20 September, 2003-CyberLink has concluded an important agreement with Questar for the sale and marketing in Italy of three famous multimedia products: PowerDVD, PowerDirector Pro and PowerProducer

PowerDVD 5 Deluxe is a powerful new software player that delivers cinema-like image perfection when viewing DVDs on personal computer. The program uses advanced MPEG decoding while supporting the most widespread audio standards, such as Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS Digital Surround, not to mention the brand-new Dolby Virtual Speaker DVS and Audio Time Stretch, designed to maximise the audio effects that make a movie unique.

PowerDVD 5 Deluxe features a totally restyled interface for simple and immediate use. Image quality has been further enhanced by the innovative CyberLink Eagle Vision Technology ? CLEV™, which automatically corrects color and contrast, for greater sharpness of even the smallest video details.

PowerProducer is the ideal solution for video editing and burning on CD and DVD, producing original, high-quality slideshows. The program provides all the tools required by video amateurs and professionals alike, with a generous software package that includes Wizard, for all types of operations, the possibility of Realtime previews, customised Slideshows, as well as tools for colour control and automatic file splitting. With PowerProducer, all stages of processing are controlled: from video capture to editing, video rendering in all available standards, to authoring and burning on CD or DVD.

Power, speed and versatility are the defining characteristics of PowerDirector Pro, the renowned video production program. Suited to all types of users, PowerDirector Pro produces professional-style videos in four simple steps. And with the innovative Smart Video Rendering Technology (SVRT), video processing is faster than any other software on the market, without ever compromising quality.

"This partnership will open up a convenient access to Italian users," stated Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink Corp. "We're glad to announce this partnership and looking forward to promoting CyberLink products and delivering the best localized customer services to the Italian users through Questar."

"We are delighted by this new partnership with CyberLink," explains Questar CEO David Orban. "We are confident that the programs will be warmly welcomed by users, especially given the surging interest and demand for digital video entertainment programs, in Italy as well."
