DVD Forum Verifies CyberLink PowerProducer 2 As World's First Software with DVD-Video Logo for PC Authoring

Granted by DVD Forum for Reliable DVD-Video Compliant Software


Taipei, Taiwan
----Mar. 15, 2004----CyberLink Corp., a leading developer of digital video software and training solutions, announced today PowerProducer 2 is the world's 1st DVD authoring software to be endorsed by the DVD Forum. PowerProducer 2 will now carry the world's only true symbol of DVD-Video format compliance, the DVD-Video logo for PC Authoring.

The logo gives purchasers the confidence that the product has been verified by DVD Forum to meet the DVD-Video standard.

The DVD authoring software certification program was initiated by the DVD Forum in 2003 and has gained rave interest among DVD authoring software vendors and OEM manufacturers ever since. The program verifies that discs are able to be consistently produced according to DVD-Video standards, and thus further protects the interests of consumers by using certified software products.

The DVD authoring software logo bestowed by the DVD Forum today makes CyberLink PowerProducer 2 the world?s first and only software product to carry the endorsed logo.

"Being the world's first software to receive the DVD-Video logo for PC authoring is a great honor, and is recognition that PowerProducer 2 passed each step of the extremely strict and complicated compliance testing procedures," said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink. "We foresee user's purchasing behavior will now change, as no-one will want to risk producing non-playable discs. A standardized DVD software era will soon arrive."

According to the DVD Forum's guidelines, end users can easily tell if the purchased software or the bundled software has been verified by the DVD Forum by checking if there's a logo on the product box - both software retail packaging and hardware boxes. This includes software and hardware bundles.
