ST. LOUIS, MO (August 21, 2002) – HEURIS, developer of the industry’s most widely used professional MPEG encoder, MPEG Power Professional, today announced that their new DVD ConnexIT software is now complete and available for purchase on the World Wide Web. This powerful new import plug-in for Adobe Premiere allows users to import materials from DVD recorders (such as Panasonic’s E30, T2020 or T3030 or the Pioneer PRV9000), DVD Multi drives (such as Panasonic’s DVDBurnerII®) and camcorders (such as Panasonic’s DVD Palmcorder®) for editing and export.

HEURIS’ DVD ConnexIT is a revolutionary new software product that allows Adobe Premiere users to import, read and edit video in various DVD formats. This is especially useful for those who own DVD recorders such as Pioneer’s DVR series, Panasonic’s E30 series or their all new professional T3030 recorder. With Heuris’ new DVD ConnexIT plug-in, users can simply take a disc out of their DVD recorder and put it in their DVD Multi drive in their computer. The data can be read instantly from the disc in Adobe Premiere, edited and then exported to other desirable formats. Unencrypted DVD-Video discs may also be imported, read and edited in Adobe Premiere with the DVD ConnexIT plug-in.

"DVD ConnexIT demonstrates HEURIS’ commitment to support both consumer electronic and computer products," said Brian Quandt, President of HEURIS. "With DVD ConnexIT, the consumer can very easily move video data from DVD recorders and camcorders to DVD Multi drives—without cables and without hassles."

DVD ConnexIT is currently available for $249 at www.heuris.com.
