Fujitsu Chooses Sonic to Power Burning Capabilities in World's First Blu-ray Disc Equipped Desktop Personal Computer; Sonic's Roxio Software Included in Fujitsu's DESKPOWER TX95S/D With Blu-ray Disc Drive

Business Wire, June 16, 2006

NOVATO, Calif. -- Sonic Solutions(R) (NASDAQ:SNIC), the leader in digital media software, announced today that its Roxio(R) Blu-ray Disc (BD) software has been selected by Fujitsu Limited to power its DESKPOWER TX95S/D. Expected to be the first desktop computer available with an integrated Blu-ray Disc drive when it launches in Japan at the end of June, Fujitsu's DESKPOWER TX95S/D will usher in a new era of high-definition optical recording on the PC.

"Sonic's design win with Fujitsu underscores the performance, quality and know-how Sonic brings to PC Blu-ray editing, recording and playback," said Richard Doherty, Research Director for The Envisioneering Group. "By leading the market in professional tools, Sonic is extremely well prepared to craft authoring and playback solutions for PC makers, CE device manufacturers and consumers now eager to embrace the quality and performance of High Definition."

Roxio digital media software for Blu-ray Disc enables the quick and robust backup of up to 50GB of data on a double layer BD-R (recordable) or BD-RE (rewritable) disc. In addition, Roxio includes an Easy Archive component to enable users to copy multiple non-protected optical discs to a single BD-R or BD-RE disc.

"We are extremely pleased that Sonic's software is playing a key role in enabling the first high-definition burning solutions," said Koki Terui, Sonic's senior vice president of Asia Pacific Rim operations. "Sonic is successfully leveraging the expertise gained supplying high-definition tools and technologies for Hollywood to create compelling Blu-ray Disc solutions for a wide range of CE and PC manufacturers."

Sonic's software and technologies are taking a leading role in the market's transition to the new high-definition optical formats. The company recently released Scenarist(R) 4 and CineVision(TM), the world's first professional high-definition authoring and encoding systems, which are being used to produce the first Blu-ray Hollywood titles. In addition, Sonic released Avid DVD by Sonic(R) -- BD Edition, the world's first Blu-ray Disc (BD) authoring system for video professionals. Sonic has also incorporated its high-definition technologies into its Roxio-branded applications which have been selected by a number of CE and PC manufacturers to enable BD playback or recording.
