Roxio Launches Toast 9 Titanium

Blu-ray Disc Authoring and Remote Video Streaming to iPhone Arrive for Mac
Consumers

Santa Clara, California (March 17, 2008) - Sonic Solutions (NASDAQ: SNIC),
the leader in digital media software, redefines Mac burning yet again with
the introduction of Toast 9 Titanium. Toast 9 allows consumers to record
high-definition content from high-definition (HD) camcorders and favorite
HD programming from TiVo DVRs and Elgato's EyeTV devices to Blu-ray Disc
(BD). Users also have the option to burn HD video and slide shows on
standard DVDs. For on-the-go entertainment, Toast 9 introduces Roxio
Streamer. Streamer allows users to stream video content stored on their
home Mac to a Wi-Fi connected iPhone or iPod Touch or any Internet
connected Mac or PC. Already the first choice for music fans wishing to
create great sounding CDs and DVDs, Toast 9 offers the ability to capture
streaming audio for recording Internet radio. Another Toast innovation
allows captured music tracks to be automatically tagged with song titles,
artist or other related information. Toast 9 Titanium is available direct
from Roxio at (http://www.roxio.com) for $99.99. The High
Definition/Blu-ray Disc (HD/BD) plug-in, which is needed to author BD video
is sold separately for $19.99 and is available free for those who purchase
Toast 9 online at roxio.com through April 13, 2008.

"With the growing adoption of high-definition devices, comes the need for
consumer applications that allow users to enhance and enjoy their favorite
movies, photos and music on HDTVs or on-the-go," said Vito Salvaggio, vice
president of consumer products, Sonic Solutions. "With high-definition
video authoring, remote streaming of personal and commercial content, as
well as exciting audio innovations, Toast 9 continues its long history of
breakthrough features that empower Mac users to make the most of their
digital media."

Toast 9 is packed with new features and enhancements that set the standard
for burning, watching, listening and sharing digital content on the Mac and
beyond.

Toast 9 Highlights:

Blu-ray Disc Support - Store as many as 12,500 music tracks, 50,000 photos,
and hours of high-definition video on a single 50 GB Blu-ray Disc. Mac & PC
Data Spanning - Span large files across multiple discs, including Blu-ray
Discs, for easy retrieval on any Mac or PC.

Watch

Life in High-Def - Enabled by a HD/BD plug-in, consumers can burn HD video
content to Blu-ray Disc and watch it on their HDTV using any BD set top
player. For consumers who do not own a BD burner or media, the plug-in
allows burning high-definition content to standard DVDs. Users can also
create HD video projects using footage from AVCHD camcorders or recorded TV
shows or movies.

Video Editing - Easy removal of unwanted video segments from TiVo, Elgato's
EyeTV, and QuickTime video files before burning the final project to disc
or exporting it to a portable player.

Time Savers - Toast 9 includes a variety of innovative features designed to
simplify and accelerate the otherwise time consuming and CPU intensive
video conversion process. These include Batch DVD-Video conversion to
enable consumers to queue multiple video files for use with Roxio's
Fit-to-DVD compression technology. The Fit-to-DVD compression technology
enables consumers to compress large files to fit on a single layer 4.7 GB
disc. Pause and Resume buttons enable users to suspend and later resume a
video conversion project, and a Video Quality Preview enables users to
review a snippet of converted video to verify video quality prior to
initiating a complete file conversion.

Listen

Library Extension - Build an extensive audio library by capturing any audio
playing through the Mac, including Internet audio.

Audio Fingerprinting - Automatically identify untagged music files and add
song titles, artists and genres, eliminating the mystery of "Track_01".
Perfect Mixes - Create perfect mixes with DJ-style crossfades and
transitions, output level adjustments, and enhancement filters.

Share

On-the-go Entertainment - A new application called Roxio Streamer enables
on-the-go consumers to access video recordings stored on a home Mac and
stream it to a Wi-Fi connected iPhone or iPod Touch or any internet
connected Mac or PC.

High Quality Photo Discs - Toast Photo Discs store thousands of
full-resolution photos as well as automatically-generated slideshows
viewable on Mac and PC.

iLife and Aperture - Access iLife 08 and Aperture libraries directly from
Toast 9's Media Browser.

Personalized Disc Artwork - Personalize discs with labels, cover art, and
inserts. Includes drawing and text editing tools, as well as over 600 clip
art images and built-in Google image search. Supports LightScribe and
Labelflash drives and media to allow users to burn artwork and labels
directly to discs.

Pricing and Availability:

Toast 9 Titanium is available now for purchase direct from Roxio at
(http://www.roxio.com), and will be widely available from e-tailers and
retail outlets this month for $99.99. Owners of previous versions may be
eligible for upgrade offers. The HD/BD plug-in will be sold as a
downloadable component from roxio.com for $19.99. Roxio will offer the
HD/BD plug-in for free for customers who purchase from roxio.com through
