On2 Technologies Releases Java Player Application
New Product Built on Companies VPX Technology 


NEW YORK, Aug. 2  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On2 Technologies, Inc., The Duck
Corporation, released its Java player technology for license today. The player
works with On2's highly regarded VPX video compression technology.

The TrueMotion Streaming Java Applet 1.0 is a TrueMotion video player written
in pure Java. The Applet offers a truly cross-platform solution -- it plays on
Windows, MacOS, Linux, and other environments. As on other platforms, the
TrueMotion codec outperforms all other competing video compression
technologies.

Unlike most media players, the TrueMotion Applet requires no player
installation. The Applet is compact and downloads quickly to the user's
browser, making for a seamless user experience. Just as exciting, no special
server software is required to serve media files to the Applet over networks.
The Applet streams over HTTP, so it can be deployed on any Web server, thereby
leveraging customers' existing infrastructure investments. "Many competing
solutions claim to support HTTP streaming when in fact they use HTTP tunneling
to a dedicated, proprietary media server," said Douglas A. McIntyre, On2
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

The TrueMotion Streaming Java Applet 1.0 provides an ideal solution for online
advertising and other Web-based video applications.

The Truemotion Streaming Java Applet 1.0 can be licensed from On2 by contacting
