<p>TERRAN'S MEDIA CLEANER PRO BEING OPTIMIZED FOR APPLE'S NEW POWERMAC G4</p>
<p>New Version of Media Cleaner Pro Provides Developers Faster Compression of<br />
Content for Web, CD-ROM and DVD Applications</p>
<p>Los Gatos, CA (August 31, 1999) Terran Interactive, a subsidiary of Media<br />
100 (NASDAQ: MDEA), announced today that Media Cleaner Pro, the company's<br />
award-winning audio and video compression application will be optimized for<br />
Apple's new PowerMac G4. Preliminary tests of Media Cleaner Pro with the<br />
Sorenson Video Codec on PowerMac G4 are showing up to twice the performance<br />
of current PowerPC and Pentium systems.</p>
<p>"Measuring the performance of computers by megahertz alone is like<br />
measuring the performance of cars in RPM's," said Darren Giles, technical<br />
director, Terran Interactive. "The ability of a PowerMac G4 machine to beat<br />
a 600 MHz Pentium III by a factor of two-to-one demonstrates this<br />
situation. With this new technology, a PowerMac G4 is effectively the first<br />
GigaHertz Macintosh available."</p>
<p>"The new PowerMac G4 brings supercomputer speeds to personal computing,"<br />
said Phil Schiller, Apple's vice president of worldwide product marketing.<br />
"Media Cleaner Pro's early optimization for the new system means design and<br />
publishing professionals will be able to work with multimedia graphics at<br />
speeds never before seen."</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability<br />
The currently shipping version of Media Cleaner Pro, 4.0, runs correctly on<br />
the new systems. However, to take full advantage of the new architecture,<br />
Terran will be releasing an update that is specifically optimized for the<br />
PowerMac G4. The update is anticipated to ship in October and will be free<br />
to all Media Cleaner Pro 4.0 users. Owners of previous versions can upgrade<br />
for $159 directly from Terran via the Web or by calling (800) 577-3443.<br />
Media Cleaner Pro is available directly through Terran Interactive for an<br />
MSRP of $499.</p>
