Ulead VideoStudio 10 now is available

Ulead VideoStudio 10 now is available on Ulead website. If you are interested, check the product page.

UVS 10 supports High Definition video editing and supports true Dolby Digital 5.1 editing. For more detailed information on UVS 10 features, check the features page.

In most video editors you will be limited by only one UI layout to edit your video. Sometimes it's not convenient for users to use the interface. For example, a left hand user might not feel comfortable when the editing options are been listed on the right side of the interface. In this version of UVS, you can have some freedoms to set the UI layout.

Layout settings in Ulead VideoStudio 10

As you can see there are 4 UI layouts you can set in UVS 10. After you set it, the UI layout will be like the followings.

UI Layout 1

UI Layout 2

UI Layout 3 (it's the default UI layout)

Layout 4

Although it's a minor change, but I think it improves the usability of the interface for some people. :)

In this new version Ulead has improved the rendering performance to be much faster. If you are using a dual core CPU then you might be glad to know that UVS 10 runs faster on dual core. You can see the benchmark chart of UVS 10 with different Intel CPUs as following.



The burning module of UVS 10 is coming from the newly released Ulead DVD MovieFactory 5, so UVS 10 also supports to burn video files as VCD, DVD (both single and double layer) and HD DVD.

I know some of you come to my blog because you wish to find a pirate copy of UVS 10 by using Google or MSN Search (yes, I can see where you are and what search keyword you used in Google or MSN Search by using some blog tool). However, if you think UVS 10 is good, please be good to be a legal user because we engineers make a living by selling the products we made.

Thanks for your co-operation, and wish you would like this new UVS version.

Enjoy!

First HD DVD disk authored by Ulead DVD MovieFactory 5.0 user

A user of Ulead DVD MovieFactory 5 called WiFi-Spy had released a HD DVD demo disk image file in March 30th to let anyone who may interests to test the disk on their HD DVD players. WiFi-Spy claimed he shot the content in the International Consumer Electronics Show 2006 with a High-Definition camcorder, Sony HDR-HC1 and is eager to know if anyone can play the HD DVD demo disk on a real HD DVD player. Soon, a Japanese user found the disk image file and gave it a try on the newly released Toshiba HD DVD player HD-XA1 yesterday and he has found the HD DVD demo disk can be played very well.

The Japanese user has burned the HD DVD disk on a DVD-R and play the disk successfully on his new Toshiba HD DVD player. He has recorded the playing as an video and you can check the video in his blog.

I think it's a good news to Ulead and the HD world because now users can use DVD MovieFactory to author their home-made videos as HD DVDs and play them on a real HD DVD player!

At the present time, there is still no other consumer HD DVD authoring programs available and Ulead is the company that can say we have HD DVD supports that works and the price for DVD MovieFactory is acceptable for home users. I know there is still some more steps Ulead needs to do, but it's already a good sign to us. :)

Note: Toshiba HD DVD player HD-XA1 now can be purchased in Japan since 2006/3/31. If you have friends in Japan, you can ask them to buy one for you from Amazon Japan. If you do not have such a friend in Japan, you can wait till April 15th or pre-order in Toshiba and ChannelIntelligence.

Support Taiwan to join the World Health Organization

Since the outbreak of SARS in Taiwan during year 2003, it has illustrated how Taiwan can help the world to prevent the spread of contagius diseases. However, due to the political status of Taiwan, Taiwan now still cannot be a member of World Health Organization and cannot help to assist the global society on the health wars. Also, Taiwanese people cannot get enough information directly from WHO when new diseases are announced. So, if you agree to let Taiwan help the global society and to let its people to devote their knowledge on this, please go to the sign page to help to express your opinions. Also you will get more information about this topic in the page.

Thanks for your attention.

First review on Ulead DVD MovieFactory 5

Personal Computer World just gave a review for Ulead DVD MovieFactory 5, and they gave Ulead DVD MovieFactory 5 4 ponts out of 5. I think it's a good news for Ulead.

Generally we have got many good responses from DVD MF 5 users, I wish the good responses can go on. As you can see, I love Ulead products, not just because I'm an employee of Ulead, but also I'm a real user of Ulead products. It's lots of fun to use our products to do some creations. :)

Wish you guys would also like DVD MF 5, too. Cheers.
