CyberLink Introduces the 4th
Generation of CyberLink MPEG CODEC
Faster editing speed and preserve true-to-original video
quality
CyberLink Corp., 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!"
About PowerDirector 3
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 movies. By offering a dual-mode
timeline and storyboard user-interface with a broad range of new movie
production features, PowerDirector 3 ensures moving 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 the tape.
