Another day, another software release. The NFL season has arrived, along with Cyberlink’s MagicSports 4. Cyberlink is best known for its PowerDVD software that lets you watch Blu-ray and HD-DVD movies on a computer. MagicSports is basically a DIY highlight package maker for Windows. It sounds like an interesting piece of software for the sports fan. I have no idea how well it works.
CyberLink MagicSports 4 uses the following key events to determine the highlights of a football game:
- Interceptions
- Field goals
- Gaining a first down
- Touchdowns
- Extra points after a touchdown
From the press release:
CyberLink has applied advanced video analysis techniques to create a new way of watching recorded football matches; instead of fast-forwarding recorded games, users can now browse a visual menu for their favorite highlights. Next and Previous Play buttons allow users to quickly jump from play to play.
