Press Release Summary: Xequte releases upgrade to popular Photo Slideshow Disk
Creation Software adding support for DVD Menus, PowerPoint and YouTube

Press Release Body: Wellington, NZ - 6 June 2008 - Xequte today announced the
release of DVD PixPlay version 4.0, their popular Slideshow Disk Creation Software
for Windows.

DVD PixPlay is an inexpensive and easy-to-use solution for digital camera users to
share their photos and videos with friends and family through the use of slideshow
disks that can be played back on a TV using a DVD player.

Slideshow disks created with the software function like a standard DVD making them
particularly suitable for those who do not own a computer or have only rudimentary
skills in their use.

Version 4.0 is a significant upgrade, delivering over two hundred improvements with
particular focus on multiple slideshow disk creation, as well as Power Point and
YouTube support.

The major new feature for power users is the ability to create DVD format disks
containing multiple slideshows that can be navigated using a menu. The creation
process is relatively simple with a wizard that walks users through the main steps:
selecting source slideshows and videos and adding a menu. DVD PixPlay includes 30
DVD menu templates to simplify the process, but power users can also customize the
menu to their own requirements.

DVD PixPlay has become increasingly popular with businesses to create presentation
media for customers. In order to meet the needs of this segment a special
\"Professional\" Edition has also been released.

The Professional version includes the ability to directly open a PowerPoint
slideshow and output it to disk for playback on DVD players. It also allows a
company logo to be displayed throughout the slideshow and embed frame captions
generated automatically from digital camera fields.

The addition of a new \"YouTube\" video file format will allow users to rapidly create
slideshows for uploading to the popular video sharing web site.

The Title Page Editor has been significantly overhauled in this release. It now
includes a standard toolbar for quick access to common functions, including new
options to quickly align and resize all selected objects. More settings have been
added for layout of background images and automatic positioning of text and clip
art.

Editing features have also been enhanced with an improved Photo Editing dialog.
PixPlay will now automatically rotate portrait camera photos retrieved from digital
cameras (using the embedded digital camera fields).

Many other improvements have been made to styling and layout, including a more
functional Add Images dialog and enhanced Program Options and Slideshow Burning
windows.

Other new features include Vista style file sorting, Blu-ray disk burning, improved
support for Widescreen TVs and more audio formats: MP2, MPA and AC3.

Further information, including free evaluations, can be obtained from the Xequte web
site at www.xequte.com or from sales@xequte.com. DVD PixPlay is priced at $29.50 and
