New technologies in version 3 include CyberLink's fourth generation MPEG engine to help maintain source video 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 the tape.
