Press Release Body:
Gardena, CA, May 02, 2008 -- TMPG, Inc., the company that makes digital video easy,
is about to make Blu-ray Disc creation easier. TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3 is an easy to
use, frame-level cut video editing software package loaded with many advanced
features including the ability to output and burn to the Blu-ray Disc (BDAV) high
definition video format. The free trial is currently available for download at
www.tmpg-inc.com. The full retail version will be available May 14th at $64.95 per
license. A special limited-time discount price of $51.95 will also be available for
all registered TMPGEnc product owners.

"TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3 offers state-of-the-art technology to smoothly edit
high-definition video, plus a host of Blu-ray Disc oriented features. As more
professional and amateur videographers embrace high definition video recording,
there will be an increasing demand for good software to edit and write video to
Blu-ray Disc," commented TMPG Inc. CEO Kimi Matsuki.

"Now users can capture high definition and other digital video directly from many
sources to quickly edit and output in a high definition format. Its robust
interface, combined with Blu-ray Disc and DVD-Video writing capabilities makes
digital editing easier than ever before,\" added Matsuki.

Other powerful features of MPEG Editor 3 include set top DVD Recorder (DVD-VR)
support, DVR-MS support, integrated Dolby® Digital sound, fit-to-disc transcoding,
VRCopy DVD-RAM importing and writing tool, Smart Rendering, multiplexing and
de-multiplexing and more. The software is optimized for IntelT dual and quad core
processors.

Blu-ray Disc
Now users can output and burn to Blu-ray Disc (BDAV). This is a great option for
users who have high definition footage from sources such as an HDV camcorder. Single
and dual layer BD-RE (Ver.2) and BD-R (Ver.1.1/1.2) discs are supported.

High Definition Video Editing
Users can capture video directly from a HDV camcorder to TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3 via
an i.LINK/IEEE 1394 interface.

Easy DVD Authoring
Another new feature is the ability to output and burn to DVD-Video. The user can
even create a simple DVD menu (fixed template). A Writing Tool is also included for
users that have video content ready for burning to Blu-ray Disc or DVD.

Video Transition Effects
The Transition Editor allows users to choose a transition effect, set the duration,
and preview the video. The new Transition Selector helps make it easier to find the
type of transition the user is looking for among the 171 different effects. Examples
of the new transition effects are Star, Keyhole, Checkerboard, Fan, Flip and Roll.

Improved User Interface
Improved utilization of the video processor's power makes navigating high definition
clips easier. And with the Smart Scene SearchT feature, where users can quickly find
the next or previous scene change, searching for that one scene during video editing
has never been easier.

DVD Recorder Editing
The software allows DVD recorder users to import footage directly into MPEG Editor
3. Remove commercials or unwanted scenes and play the file back on a DVD recorder
since the software processes video with virtually no re-encoding.

Smart Rendering
Smooth-cut editing is assured with advanced Smart Rendering technology, which only
re-encodes edited frames instead of the entire movie.

VRCopy Tool
Powered by Panasonic and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., the VRCopy tool
allows users to read and write to DVD-RAM discs. Many DVD recorders use DVD-RAM
discs; the VRCopy tool can be used to import content so it can be edited and then
output it back to a DVD-RAM disc.
