Taipei, Taiwan----Feb. 9, 2004----CyberLink Corp.
(Taiwan OTC: 5203), a leading developer of digital video software and training
solutions, introduced today its 4th generation of CyberLink MPEG CODEC to deliver
the best video quality with shortest video processing time possible.
CyberLink has been in the business of developing MPEG encoding and decoding
(CODEC) software for almost ten years. From the first generation CODEC used
in PowerDirector 1.0, to the current 4th generation of CyberLink MPEG CODEC
used in PowerDirector 3, a great deal of change has been made to improve the
encoding performance and enhance the overall video quality. With the latest
video engine in PowerDirector 3, anyone can reduce the time it takes to process
an edited video by up to 50%. Compared to other video software, this process
is noticeable faster, which means users have more time available to spend on
creating eye-catching videos with special effects and less time waiting. In
addition, it also ensures that the final video production looks closer to those
movies seen on consumer VCDs or DVDs. In addition, the 4th generation of CyberLink
MPEG CODEC used in PowerDirector 3 optimizes the video display format, so that
both non-interlaced PC monitors and interlaced televisions can display the video
with the best results.
"With the CyberLink MPEG CODEC, we are now offering consumers a new technology called "video frame analysis", which compares each video frame in order to ensure that the quality of video is more stable and of the highest quality level," said Brian Lin, Product Manager of CyberLink. "Also, the 4th generation of CyberLink MPEG CODEC greatly reduces video noise and unnatural video color blocks, so that the final video quality more closely resembles that of the original video source video!"

PowerDirector 3 is "from start to finish" video-editing software that
provides the best way for both advanced and entry-level users to create eye-catching

editing is easy too. New technologies in version 3 include CyberLink's fourth
generation CyberLink MPEG CODEC to automatically remove image artifacts and
provide better image quality, SVRT™ 2 to render the edited video or audio
individually for better quality and reduced production times, and DV QuickScan
to quickly select and capture specific video segments without manually positioning
