Ulead VideoStudio 10 Plus Brings High-Quality Surround Sound to Home DVDs - Consumer video editing and DVD authoring software includes support for creating soundtracks in 5.1-channel Dolby Digital surround sound.

Northampton, UK July 26th, 2006 – Ulead Systems Inc., a subsidiary of InterVideo Inc., is bringing fresh enjoyment to home video projects by allowing users to create soundtracks in high-quality 5.1-channel surround sound.  Ulead® VideoStudio® 10 Plus video editing software includes full 5.1-channel surround sound support with Dolby® Digital 5.1 Creator. “Surround sound adds enormously to the richness of the video experience,” said Eldon C. M. Liu, president of Ulead.  “With VideoStudio 10 Plus, one click adds high-quality surround sound in the same format used by professional studios.  The results are simply breathtaking.”

VideoStudio 10 Plus simplifies the process of enhancing home videos and DVDs with surround sound.  A single button enables 5.1 sound in editing projects, automatically converting two channel audio to 5.1 channels.  Individual adjustments for center channel, subwoofer and overall level allow users to quickly mix audio in the video, overlay, narration and music tracks.  For precise placement of sounds, a new Surround Sound Mixer lets users drag-and-drop audio to position it within the sound field.

“A simple technique for creating a pleasing surround mix for home movies with a music soundtrack is to leave the audio from the camcorder video untouched while zeroing the center channel level and reducing the overall level by 6 or 12 db for the background music in the music track,” said Mark Wurdemann, Marketing Manager, Ulead Europe.  “This ensures that important dialog remains clear but still lets you use music to establish mood and emotion.  It’s what they do in the movies.”

“VideoStudio 10 Plus makes it easy for anyone to take video productions to the next level with dramatic and satisfying Dolby Digital 5.1 sound effects.  We are very excited to see Ulead bring this powerful technology to home users,” said Greg Rodehau, Director, PC Business Segment, Dolby Laboratories.
