• CyberLink MagicSports 3

Got video? This software allows for fast analysis and navigation of recorded sports programs, enabling the user to create a video of game highlights. MagicSports makes it easier to identify the most exciting moments of sporting events, enabling the user to skip commercials or plays not deemed relevant to the game's outcome. CyberLink says MagicSports works thanks to "advanced game detection technology," what it calls MagicScene. It says the technology "identifies the highlights of recorded sports programs with an accuracy of 95 to 98 percent." The software has been awarded a CES Innovations 2007 Design & Engineering Award. www.cyberlink.com, $49.95
