WEBWIRE

SANTA CLARA, CA, 02/17/2005 -- YesVideo™, Inc. (www.yesvideo.com), the leader in digital media authoring, today announced its new YesDVD Digital Scrapbook™ multimedia software. Designed to enable consumers to easily edit and share their video and photo memories without the need to install complicated and expensive editing software, YesDVD with Digital Scrapbook multimedia software plays like a Hollywood movie DVD when played in a DVD player, and also performs as an easy-to-use video and photo editing application when run on a PC. The YesDVD Digital Scrapbook will be demonstrated at YesVideo’s booth #2071/2073 at PMA 2005 (Feb. 20-23, Orlando, FL).

Digital Scrapbook includes video editing software, photo editing software and a multimedia storyboard as a tightly integrated, easy-to-use application. As companion software that resides on a finished YesDVD disc along with the video and photo content, YesDVD Digital Scrapbook software is simple to use, with no software to install on the PC. The consumer can simply insert the YesDVD into the DVD drive of their PC, and Digital Scrapbook is ready to use.

With their video clips and photos already integrated into the Digital Scrapbook toolset, consumers can immediately edit, create and share their memories and prints and slideshows. Editing functions include cropping, rotating, and red-eye reduction, as well as easy selection of video clips. The final creation made with Digital Scrapbook can easily be converted to .WMV format for emailing to friends and family, or for burning a new DVD.

“The YesDVD Digital Scrapbook meets the growing demand by consumers who want to easily edit their video, capture still images from their video, and incorporate still pictures, personal music, and special effects into their video,” said Sai-Wai Fu, president and CEO of YesVideo. “We believe that our customers want to remember events by creating customized, multimedia scrapbooks from their digital pictures and video.”

Digital Scrapbook is significantly easier to use that other video and photo editing software in that:

-- With Digital Scrapbook as companion software on a YesDVD, all forms of videotape, movie film, 35mm slides, photo prints, and digital images that have been transferred to a YesDVD can now be easily edited and customized using Digital Scrapbook.
-- Digital Scrapbook has the video content intelligently chaptered and loaded in its Library, making the video ready to edit. In the process of creating the finished YesDVD, the “heavy lifting” of transcoding the video into MPEG2 files has already been performed.
-- Digital Scrapbook enables consumers to easily capture and manipulate still images from their video footage.
-- Digital Scrapbook software resides on the finished YesDVD disc and operates on a PC without the need to install any software onto the PC hard drive.
-- Digital Scrapbook includes an easy-to-use graphical user interface, with drag-and-drop and point-and-click editing operation.

Pricing and Availability
Available only with the purchase of a YesDVD, the YesDVD Digital Scrapbook multimedia software is a great value, at only $9.99 with the purchase of a YesDVD digital transfer order, compared to PC software products costing $49.99 or more. Digital Scrapbook will be available through photo retailers nationwide beginning in May 2005.
