CyberLink Demonstrates Blu-ray Disc Burning and Playback

Taipei, Taiwan ----May 16, 2005----CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), a world leader and pioneer in providing integrated solutions for the Digital Home, and a contributing member of the Blu-ray Disc Association, today demonstrated the burning and playback of video content on Blu-ray Rewritable (BD-RE) discs.

CyberLink showcased its support at the Blu-ray Disc Association's member seminar and information meeting in Tokyo, Japan, using CyberLink Power2Go to burn video content onto a BD-RE disc . Attendees were then shown playback via CyberLink's industry-leading PowerDVD and a Blu-ray drive featuring MediaTek's chipset technology.

"For years CyberLink has been the world's leading company in the field of digital video playback on the PC, and we are pleased to see their expansion into the field of Blu-ray Disc (BD) products," said Mr. Alex Chen, Director of Sales and Marketing Division, MediaTek Inc. "CyberLink's successful demonstration of BD video authoring and playback via a MediaTek solution illustrates the extent to which both companies are taking the lead in delivering High-Definition video solutions."

"Blu-ray technology is emerging as a powerful medium for video storage and playback," said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink. "CyberLink's ongoing development of key technologies for video burning, playback, and navigation, ensures that our OEM customers are ready for this major shift in the market."

Last month CyberLink demonstrated navigation of BD-RE video content at a seminar in the US, providing a glimpse of the image quality and creative potential for home-movie entertainment. The Blu-ray format increases the capacity and quality when compared to existing DVD content by providing up to 25 GB of high-definition video on a single-sided, single layer disc. Discs will be available in read-only (BD-ROM), rewritable (BD-RE) and recordable (BD-R) formats.
