Ulead announces
DVD PictureShow for Mac
April 22nd, 2003
Ulead Systems, Inc.,
a leading developer of image and video editing, 3D animation, and DVD
authoring software, today introduced DVD PictureShow for Mac, digital
image slideshow creation software for the Macintosh platform. DVD PictureShow
fills a niche in the Mac consumer software market for a digital photo
slideshow product solely designed to easily and quickly create slideshows
on both CD and DVD media. DVD PictureShow for Mac follows the success
of Ulead’s existing PC-based DVD PictureShow, which has received
notable reviews in CNET, PC Magazine, and the Wall Street Journal. With
the high adoption rate of digital cameras, the increasing growth rate
of DVD burners, yet the ubiquitous use of CD burners, Ulead is uniquely
positioned to offer consumers and OEM partners a cross platform solution
for digital image slideshow creation with support for both CD and DVD
media.

DVD PictureShow for
Mac lets consumers easily assemble digital images, create sophisticated
DVD navigation and polished menus using templates such as holiday, vacation,
and romantic. Adding text, background music and importing images for
menu backgrounds give slideshows a personal touch. The software burns
to either CD or DVD discs for playback on a TV using a standard DVD
player or on a computer using a CD or DVD drive.
“Due to the overwhelming success of DVD PictureShow for the PC platform, DVD PictureShow for Mac was a natural step for Ulead,” says Colwin Chan, image editing product manager at Ulead Systems, Inc. “While Apple’s iDVD and iPhoto give Mac users a variety of options for working with their digital media, DVD PictureShow for Mac offers a
complementary, streamlined
approach to easily and quickly transform digital photos into entertaining
digital slideshows. The software is also unique because it works with
both CD and DVD burners, giving the majority of consumers who do not have
a DVD burner the option of burning their final slideshow to inexpensive
CD media that they can still watch on TV using a standard DVD player.”
DVD PictureShow for Mac also complements Ulead’s existing Mac-based digital image media management software, Photo Explorer for Mac (available at www.ulead.com). The two products combined give Mac users a complete photo management and slideshow creation package that helps them download, edit, manage, archive, and share their images on CD and DVD media.
