You can use the HighMAT (High-performance Media Access Technology) Extension for the CD Writing Wizard on a computer running the Windows XP to create a HighMAT CD. A HighMAT CD contains digital media content (such as audio files, video files, and image files) and interactive menus that enable users to locate and play back content easily. These CDs can be played back on computers or HighMAT-compatible consumer electronic devices such as DVD and CD players.

HighMAT-compatible consumer electronics devices can offer different levels of HighMAT playback support. These levels of playback support determine which types of files can be played back by the device and is indicated by the type of HighMAT logo on the device. For more information about the different levels of HighMAT playback support, see the HighMAT Web site. The HighMAT Extension for the Windows XP CD Writing Wizard creates discs that can be played back in any consumer electronics device that displays the HighMAT logo.

Please note that when you install this update, the default setting for HighMAT is turned off. You must click the box in the set-up dialogue in order to create HighMAT CDs.

Analysts hold Sega's management responsible and objurgate their waffling. "The credibility of Sega's current management has taken a deadly blow," said Takeshi Tajima, analyst at BNP Paribas. "Institutional investors and most long-term retail investors have long avoided Sega's shares, but the recent wavering by the company's management has done extra damage."

An upward revision in Sega's annual earnings estimates accompanied the announcement on the spoiled merger plans. The company expects a net profit of three billion yen ($25.8 million) for the year ended March 31, up 500 percent from its initial estimate of 500 million.

Analysts said Sega's management needed to focus on its turnaround plan for its consumer game software operations and that it would not be wise to keep wavering. "The worst thing for Sega is to stay uncertain. Sega is not facing any imminent financial risk now and management should just decide what they should do to maintain employees' trust," said Shunji Yamashina, analyst at Morgan Stanley. (Reuters)
