CyberLink announced today the release of PowerProducer 4 Next-Gen, an enhanced version featuring Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD video capturing and production, widescreen support and advanced Magic Video Editing tools. The new features combine CyberLink’s DVD authoring technologies with the newest generation of disc technology, offering authoring and burning on HD DVDs and Blu-ray Discs.

PowerProducer 4 Next-Gen recently received certification for Blu-ray compatibility and fully supports the HD DVD format. It also supports 16:9 widescreen play back ratio, and includes both 16:9 and 4:3 menu templates. Magic Video Editing tools permit quick and easy corrections, thematic titles and transitions for both videos and photos.

PowerProducer 4 Next-Gen includes options for creating disc chapters automatically and manually, supports background music and first play video and features alpha-blended, animated and static menu designs. Right-to-Disc(tm) eliminates the need for large hard disc requirements and allows users to record directly from an HDV camcorder or digital camera.

PowerProducer 4 is already available online, both as a download and boxed version.
