Miraizon Introduces Cinematize 2 Pro for Macintosh, The Ultimate DVD Re-Editing Tool

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) July 19, 2006

Miraizon(R), a San Jose-based digital media software company, announced today the availability of its new product Cinematize(R) 2 Pro for Macintosh, the Ultimate DVD Re-Editing tool. This is a much-anticipated new addition to the Cinematize 2 product family, which includes Cinematize 2 for Macintosh and Windows, the highly acclaimed DVD Movie Clip Extraction tool.

Cinematize 2 Pro offers everything Cinematize 2 does and much more. With Cinematize 2 Pro, virtually any piece of an existing DVD becomes available as a source material for a new DVD project and can be used with popular applications including QuickTime, iMovie, Final Cut, PowerPoint, Keynote, iTunes, and even an iPod. Removing some of the limitations in Cinematize 2, Cinematize 2 Pro lets users extract video from DVD-VR discs produced by recorders, all channels from multi-channel audio tracks, and subtitles decoded to QuickTime movies or images as well. In addition, Cinematize 2 Pro allows extraction from DVD menus including buttons, background images, motion menus, and audio tracks. Cinematize 2 Pro users can also increase their productivity dramatically with numerous timesaving features such as batch processing of multiple segments, presets for frequently-used preferences, comprehensive display of time-codes, and improved extraction performance. Moreover, Cinematize 2 Pro for Macintosh is provided as a Universal Binary application for native operation on both Intel and PowerPC-based machines. Full details of the complete Cinematize 2 Pro features along with a free demo version are available at Miraizon's web site: http://www.miraizon.com.

"You don't necessarily have to be a 'pro' to enjoy the benefits of Cinematize 2 Pro. The powerful new Pro features enable you to do so much more with your DVDs, while saving so much time. We are confident that this will become a must-have tool for anybody who works extensively with DVDs or has DVD projects in mind. Cinematize 2 Pro is the Ultimate Re-Editing tool that can take your DVD projects to the next level," says Miraizon founder and CEO, David Salamon.

Cinematize 2 Pro was built on top of the company's highly popular application Cinematize 2. Cinematize 2 has been used by tens of thousands of users all over the world, from audio/video pros in Hollywood to home users, teachers, lawyers, doctors, DJs, and ad agencies. Customers use Cinematize 2 to incorporate DVD clips into their presentations, to create movie highlights collections, to edit recorded TV programs, to create still pictures, to create audio clips for CDs and iTunes, or to create video clips for an iPod or the web.

When describing Cinematize 2, editor Todd Gillespie of eventDV magazine says in his June 2006 article, "Cinematize gives you the power of creativity and lets you utilize your DVDs in a way you've not yet considered-- or at least not considered possible... The possibilities are endless; from an iPod movie to a Web-streaming file, Cinematize will make quick work of your DVD project."

With the new features in Cinematize 2 Pro, users can even create movie clips with subtitles for language study, reuse portions of motion menus, or use just one specific audio channel from a multi-channel audio soundtrack. Cinematize 2 Pro truly makes the possibilities endless.
