Moscow, Russia (PRWEB) November 27, 2009

Movavi, a leading developer of multimedia-processing software, today unveiled new versions of its flagship multimedia-editing software: Movavi Video Suite 8 and Movavi Video Converter 9.

The company has been working closely with NVIDIA to optimize and dramatically improve performance of Movavi products when used with NVIDIA® CUDA™ –enabled graphics processing units (GPUs). The new versions of the Movavi software bring users up to 400% speed improvement in video encoding performance. In addition, the Movavi software equips users with additional capabilities to enhance their video, audio and photo editing experience.

With these new versions, Movavi Video Suite and Movavi Video Converter users now have access to cutting-edge tools to convert video (including HD), audio, and unencrypted DVDs to and from over 170 media formats, rip them for portable devices with ready-made presets (iPod®, iPhone™, Sony PSP™, Microsoft Zune™, Creative Zen™, Archos™, BlackBerry™, smartphones, cell phones and more), download and convert online video from popular video-sharing sites, fine-tune videos with a range of editing functions, burn them to CDs and DVDs and more.

“We’re glad to see Movavi take advantage of the NVIDIA CUDA architecture to make media conversion fast and simple,” said Michael Steele, general manager of visual consumer solutions at NVIDIA. “With an insatiable appetite for video and the need to take it with them on the go, consumers will now get the best VideoSuite 8 and Video Converter 9 experience on GeForce GPUs”.

Key new benefits of Movavi Video Suite 8 include:

•     Easier sharing of media files: Import audio and video files from portable devices (iPod®, iPhone™, Sony PSP™, Microsoft Zune™, Creative Zen™, Archos™, BlackBerry™, PDA/Pocket PCs, USB portable media players, USB flash drives and USB external hard drives, cell phones and smartphones) to a PC with a single click and create your media library;
•     Slideshow creation: Add JPG, BMP, GIF, and PNG images and photos to slideshows, rotate photos, enhance quality with easy-fix tools, and apply music and special sound effects. The resulting slideshow can be shared by saving it to any of the supported video formats, transferring it to a portable device, or burning it to a CD or DVD.
•     Integrated video player: Play videos in more than 170 video formats (including DVD and HD), and play online video from popular video-sharing sites on any device. Create and manage custom playlists, adding single tracks or entire folders. Play videos one by one or activate Shuffle mode to play items randomly.
•     New video editing effects: Use volume envelope to control audio fade-in and fade-out and overall volume level. The opacity envelope can be used to set overall opacity levels and fade video events in and out.
•     Disc burning: Burn data Blue-ray™ 25GB and 50GB disks.
•     Extended post-conversion options: Now users can convert videos while they’re sleeping. Just specify whether the program should shut down or hibernate on completion of the conversion.
•     Automatic video splitting: Automatically format videos by size or duration for smooth playing on mobile devices. Large files can also be split for later burning to DVDs in parts.
