DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

Sonic Solutions (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statements on Form S-8 to withdraw and remove from registration the unissued and unsold shares of the Registrant’s common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable by the Registrant pursuant to its 2000 Stock Option Plan, 2004 Equity Compensation Plan, 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (Non-U.S. Employees), Sonic Solutions 2004 Equity Compensation Plan, Amended and Restated July 2010, and Sonic Solutions 2010 Inducement Equity Compensation Plan previously registered by the Registrant pursuant to the following registration statements (collectively, the “Registration Statements”):

On February 17, 2011, Sparta Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rovi Corporation (“Rovi”), merged (the “First Merger”) with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant being the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) in the First Merger, and on February 18, 2011, the Surviving Corporation subsequently merged with and into Sparta Acquisition Sub II LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rovi (“Merger Sub II”), with Merger Sub II being the surviving corporation following the second merger (the “Second Merger”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rovi. In connection with the Second Merger, the name of Merger Sub II was changed to Sonic Solutions LLC.

As a result of the First Merger, the Registrant became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rovi and, accordingly, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of the Registrant’s securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the above referenced Registration Statements. Pursuant to the undertakings contained in such Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities which remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statements which remained unsold as of the effective time of the First Merger.
