[J.A.F._Doorhof]

Adaptec, Inc. has entered into a distribution agreement with Sonic Solutions to distribute the MyDVD and DVDit! software product lines to retail channels in the U.S., Europe and Asia.

"As our retail partner, Adaptec offers us the key ingredients that we were seeking to complement our strong OEM presence," said Mary Sauer, senior vice president of Business Development for Sonic Solutions. "Adaptec pioneered CD burning software and with their strong brand recognition, extensive retail presence and complementary product family of video solutions, they were the top choice to help us deliver our leading DVD creation software to retail markets around the world."

Adaptec will offer Sonic's MyDVD and DVDit! product lines to bring consumers the ability to easily edit, create and share home movies with friends and family for viewing on a TV or PC. MyDVD Video Suite will be available late summer and DVDit! will be available in the fall through select retailers, resellers and mail order.
