Corel Provides WinDVD for Bundling with Complete Line of ASUS Brand BD/HD Notebooks

Delivers Smooth Motion Playback with Crystal-clear Resolution and Full-fidelity Audio

Corel Corporation (NASDAQ:CREL; TSX:CRE), a leading developer of graphics, productivity and digital media software, today announced that ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (TSE:2357), (ASUS), is bundling InterVideo WinDVD with its complete line of ASUS BD/HD notebooks. Designed to deliver all of the benefits of high-definition audio and video without the complexity, WinDVD is the world’s most popular video playback and navigation software.

ASUS BD/HD notebooks to be bundled with WinDVD include the Lamborghini VX2; the G1, G2 and W2 series for gaming and digital entertainment; the F3 series for business; and the A7 series for personal digital entertainment.

“We selected WinDVD for our new BD/HD notebooks because it is a universal Vista-compatible player that will provide our customers with playback and navigation for the high-definition BD, HD-DVD, AVCHD formats as well as the leading DVD, video and audio formats,” said Tony Chen, General Manager of ASUS Notebook Business. “We’ve been bundling WinDVD with our products for years, and the high video and audio quality is something our customers have come to expect from ASUS.”

On the audio side, WinDVD includes support for DVD-Audio, Intel High Definition Audio, Dolby Digital, Dolby Headphone, Dolby Virtual Speaker and DTS™ Digital Surround Sound, as well as SRS TruSurround XT.

With an increasing number of consumers choosing notebooks for their first PC, and existing PC users upgrading to notebooks from desktop PCs, ASUS, one of the world’s largest producers of mobile computers, is experiencing tremendous growth. The company shipped 1 million units in Q4 2006, an increase of 36 percent over the previous quarter. DisplaySearch, a market research firm, predicts that the notebook PC market will continue to surge, growing from 78.802 million units in 2006 to almost 97 million units by Q4 2007.

“WinDVD is optimized to take maximum advantage of the Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel Mobile technologies that have been designed into the ASUS BD/HD notebooks,” said Blaine Mathieu, VP and General Manager, Products and Strategy, Corel Digital Media. “Combined, they provide ASUS customers with the ability to multitask while playing back high-definition video/audio formats and help users extend their battery life and playback time. It’s all part of our commitment to provide mobile users with the same rich multimedia experience that desktop users enjoy.”

WinDVD also leverages the power of NVIDIA PureVideo™ HD technology hardware acceleration capabilities incorporated in today’s new notebooks to deliver highly efficient hardware decoding for playback of H.264, VC-1 and MPEG-2 movies. Graphics cards and notebooks based on the latest GeForce 8600, GeForce 8500, and GeForce 8M Series GPUS offload the complex H.264 decoding process from the CPU, to free the CPU for other tasks, reduce power consumption and extend battery life.
