Business Wire, March 13, 2006

HANNOVER, Germany -- InterVideo(R), Inc. (NASDAQ:IVII), an industry leader in bringing next-generation H.264/MPEG-4 AVC technology to consumers, announced today InterVideo iVideoToGo(TM), the easiest way to copy(1) personal videos for playback on the Sony(R) PSP(TM) game console or Apple(R) iPod(R). Priced at only $29.95 for both the PSP and iPod versions, the software provides users with an easy, three-step solution for quickly converting DVDs and video files into PSP- and iPod-compatible files that deliver smooth, flawless playback.

Easily one of the fastest conversion tools on the market, iVideoToGo is equipped with a simple, friendly interface and utilizes a single window for all tasks. With just three steps to copy a video, there's no learning curve -- even a beginner can have immediate success.

"With iVideoToGo, iPod and PSP users are no longer limited by the pre-formatted videos that are available," said Steve Ro, president and CEO of InterVideo. "InterVideo has solved the conversion problem so consumers can now enjoy their personal videos, music and photos wherever they go without sacrificing quality."

In addition to supporting the PSP's and iPod's H.264 and MPEG-4 formats, iVideoToGo supports DVD-Videos, AVI, MPEG, WMV, MOV, MP4, DivX(R), ASF, DVR-MS, 3GP and others -- all together, more formats than any other program of its kind.

Unlike most competing software, iVideoToGo includes InterVideo's innovative H.264 codec. H.264, which is also known as the Advanced Video Codec (AVC) specification or MPEG 4-Part 10, provides two to three times the compression efficiency of current solutions such as the MPEG-2 standard, enabling users to pack even more movies on their PSPs and iPods.

Pricing, Availability

InterVideo iVideoToGo is available in box and electronic versions in retail stores and at InterVideo's Web site, www.intervideo.com. Compatible with Windows(R) 2000 and XP systems, the suggested list price is $29.95 USD.
