Digital Origin's Content Creation/Streaming Media Authoring Tool EditDV Now
Fully Optimized for Apple's New Dual-Processor Power Mac

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--Sept. 6, 2000--Digital Origin, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Media 100, (NASDAQ:MDEA) announced today a free upgrade to
its content creation and streaming media authoring tool EditDV which is now
fully optimized for Apple's new dual-processor Power Macintosh.

EditDV uses Digital Origin's unique scalable software codec designed
specifically for the DV format. This enables EditDV, already compatible
with the new Power Macintosh systems, to achieve maximum performance on the
new dual-processor systems. According to Mike Micheletti, Product Manager
for Digital Origin, the combination of Digital Origin EditDV and the
dual-processor Power Macintosh offers the fastest Mac OS desktop
environment for DV-format content creation and streaming media workflow in
the industry. "Because our video codec is entirely software-based, our
tools - which already offer the fastest rendering times in the market - can
easily leverage any performance increase in host processors like those
recently announced by Apple. By integrating this scalable performance into
our products, Digital Origin is maximizing the huge investment our
customers make in their hardware systems."

Digital Origin offers a full suite of products for video still capture,
motion capture, non-linear editing and post production with tools for
automated export to the web, DVD, CD-ROM or tape. By enhancing EditDV for
optimum performance on dual-processor Power Macintosh systems, Digital
Origin underscores its commitment to the Macintosh platform as well as to
new products that accelerate the streaming media production workflow.
