Media Cleaner Pro's multi-standard and cross-platform support drives the digital content creation market forward by providing developers the flexibility to create the highest quality media in any format required. For the first time, developers using both Macintosh and Windows can use one tool to easily prepare professional-quality media for delivery on the Web, broadband, CD-ROM, kiosks, presentations, and DVD.

- Enhanced QuickTime support -- automated production of QuickTime 4 streaming movies, enhanced movie alternates, automated poster frames, variable display resolutions, and tight integration with the latest codecs continue to broaden Cleaner's lead as the most powerful QuickTime compression tool.
