Upgrade Delivers Access to CD Writing,
QuickTime 3 Export Support, Product Enhancements

MACWORLD Expo, San Francisco, CA, January 5,1999 - HEURIS, makers of
the most widely used professional MPEG encoder, today announced
version 1.4 of MPEG Power Professional(. This software upgrade offers
direct access to Adaptec Toast and Easy CD Creator, the most widely
used software for CD interactive and video CD authoring. In addition,
MPEG Transport multiplexing has more control and proven reliability
with MPEG decoders. And, for the first time, MPEG Power Professional
supports applications that utilize QuickTime 3 export on both Mac OS
systems and Win95 and WinNT systems.

"HEURIS is in close communication with its user base," said Brian
Quandt, President of HEURIS. "They've asked for a powerful tool which
integrates tightly with the other products on their desks. As usual,
HEURIS has responded quickly and effectively with version 1.4 of MPEG
Power Professional."

Users of Adaptec Toast and Easy CD Creator are now able to create
MPEG videos with MPEG Power Professional 1.4. Transport multiplexed
MPEG sequences created with MPEG Power Professional are ideal for
video server systems or broadcast integration. And now, the MPEG
Export Engine-Professional is included with MPEG Power Professional
to export directly to MPEG from other applications that utilize
QuickTime 3 export, including Apple's MoviePlayer Pro and Media
Cleaner Pro 3.1. Media Cleaner Pro 3.1 from Terran Interactive has
additional built-in support for the MPEG Export Engine-Professional.

PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

MPEG Power Professional 1.4 will be available direct from HEURIS,
through dealers and distributors. Customers who have previously
purchased MPEG Power Professional may upgrade to 1.4 free of charge.
