Phoenix Software, a leading software re-publishing house of South Africa, is pleased to announce that it will distribute multimedia software from software developer CyberLink Corp.

CyberLink is the maker of industry-leading DVD player software PowerDVD, which won the competitive Design and Engineering Innovations 2007 Honoree Award at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this year. CyberLink's range of multimedia software includes high-definition video editing software PowerDirector, and all-in-one creativity suite CyberLink DVD Suite. Phoenix will distribute all three products.

"CyberLink is an important partner for us," stated Simon Campbell Young, CEO of Phoenix Software. "Their products provide exciting features and leading technologies, letting us meet the needs of the rapidly growing consumer market for digital video and photo creativity."
