High-definition widescreen TVs promise to revolutionize the home entertainment experience, with better image quality and cinema-like screens. PowerDirector 5’s ability to import, edit, and output high definition video, and support for HDV camcorders and native 16:9 aspect ratios, turns home-video editors into Hollywood directors, letting them create videos for playback on the latest TVs in 1080i or 720p resolution.
