We are quickly moving to an all-digital world. If
you're selling your content on audio and video tapes,
consider now repurposing your content for sale on Data
CD's.
Why not host all of your digital media on the
Internet for sale?
There is a place for digital media on the Internet.
Technically, you can digitize your audio and video tapes,
put a shopping cart together, and sell "streams" of digital
media. But does it make financial sense?
If you want to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars
in dedicated servers, digital rights management, streaming
bandwidth....you get the picture. Plus, how many of
your customers have a high-speed connection to the
Internet?
Even when you have a high-speed connection to the
Internet, how many times do you see "Net
Congestion...Buffering", when trying to play media?
We don't think the financial model makes sense.
Why put my content on a CD?
CD's are cheap. In bulk, they can be
purchased for less than a dollar each. Depending on
quantity, you can replicate the CD anywhere from $1.00 to
$5.00 each.
No Generation Loss. Every get frustrated
when reviewing copies of video tapes? Since CD's are
all digital, you can make a million copies of copies and
never loose the quality.
PAL vs. VHS. When duplicating tapes, one of
your many choices is selling overseas. If you want
access to that market, you better format in PAL.
Yep...more money. Not an issue with CD's.
Massive Content. We produced a CD that
contain over 8 hours of video for our clients. For
our audio clients, we fit over 100 hours of spoken word on
1 CD! What would it cost for you to put all of that
content on video and audio tapes?
Relationship Building. We use web
technologies to encode and author our content. When
your customers play your CD, they are viewing everything
within a web browser. Hyperlinks are placed in the
presentation to lead back to your website (to generate more
sales).
Index Your Content. Ever try indexing a video or
audio tape? We use the Virage™ video indexer to create a
play list and thumbnail index of your video content.
Now, when your customers review their content, they can
jump right to the chapter they want.
Synchronize Your Content. Many of our
clients use Microsoft PowerPoint™ to support their
presentation. We synchronize the video stream to the
PowerPoint slide of your presentation. It's almost
like being there!
No Content Limitation. When you sell a VHS
Video, all you get is video. But when you sell a CD,
the sky is the limit. Include audio, video,
animation, text, graphics...if you can see it on your web
browser, you can put it on a CD.
