CyberLink Releases Power2Go 7, the First BDXL™ Burning Software
TAIPEI, Taiwan–CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW) today announced support for the latest Blu-ray™ Disc technology BDXL™. Released by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) in June 2010, BDXL is a multi-layer recordable Blu-ray format with up to 128GB of capacity. CyberLink Power2Go 7, launched last month, is the first BDXL-compatible software application in the market with further CyberLink product lines to follow shortly.
