Vividas Share Discussion Threads

Well Sony is the obvious call. Mind you it won't be a secret for much longer as the contract looks to be with immediate effect and Sony typically release two films a month. If not Sony I guess it is Paramount as mentioned earlier. Imagine deal is on a per minute viewed basis.

My only guess that the reason for not naming "the name" is that "the name" are going to do their own PR release in due course.

Excellent news they are starting to get penetration amongst the biggest players in the industry.

When do you think the company will publish the contract details? (value, terms etc)

[the analyst] 10/5/2007 11:07

Yes, always tends to be quiet here - an oasis of calm!

[c5l] 10/5/2007 10:29

Surprisingly quiet here considering the good news?

"This is a ground-breaking
agreement, combining as it does a highly prestigious customer and a significant
contractual value...."

[james 2] 10/5/2007 08:05

It already has, not sure of the value but 'largest ever annual contract' works for me :o)

[crystball] 10/5/2007 08:02

Sounds good Spike,

have held quietly for a while here now.

Maybe Scrutable will fill in the blanks for us.

robbiepaul. I have no idea, however a big Hollywood movie has a budget of up to $30 million for promotion and advertising.

Best wishes - Mike

VIVIDAS GROUP PLC



Vividas secures annual streaming deal with one of the top three major
Film Studios in the US


Vividas (VDS.L), the video streaming technology company, has signed its largest
ever annual contract with one of the top three major Film Studios in the US, to
stream all trailers from their 2007 film release schedule.



Trailers will be streamed using the VivStream Campaign product offering that
includes a unique High Definition streaming capability which enables studios to
stream movies, webisodes and trailers in High Definition quality at a much lower
bandwidth than with any of Vividas' major competitors. It also demonstrates a
direct reaction to the growing demand for entertainment online.



Paul Neville, Vividas' Chief Executive, stated "This is a ground-breaking
agreement, combining as it does a highly prestigious customer and a significant
contractual value. The online entertainment market is experiencing massive
growth and Vividas is well placed to capitalise on the ever increasing consumer
demand for high quality streamed content."

Sector is definitely "hot". Vividas quality as everyone pretty well agrees is ahead of the competition. They just need a few higher profile names to get the snowball rolling to differentiate themselves from the other "hopefuls" out there.

[stegrego] 04/5/2007 18:53

The results were meant to be indicative of the sector.

The picture quality isnt comparable.

[the_pimp] 04/5/2007 10:33

No competition at all. VDS in fact use On2.Just that they have patented ways of using their product which others can't compete with. Mind you although VDS use On2 they are not reliant on it.

Competitor results today -


TARRYTOWN, N.Y., May 3, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- On2 Technologies, Inc. a leader in video compression software and solutions, today announced its first quarter 2007 financial results.

Revenue increased 131% to $2,815,000 for the three months ended March 31 2007 as compared with $1,217,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Revenue increased 33% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from revenue of $2,117,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006

The first quarter of 2007 marks our seventh straight quarter of sustained growth, with double-digit or greater revenue growth in each of those quarters. Additionally, Q1 2007 is the first quarter in which we have achieved operational profitability," said Bill Joll, president and chief executive officer of On2. "This is a direct result and affirmation of decisions we previously made to lay a foundation for future revenue from royalty-bearing and other recurring revenue transactions. In addition, we achieved 100% growth in Flix(R) Engine sales in Q1 2007 over Q4 2006, as a result of improved sales performance and increasing demand for VP6-based Adobe(R) Flash(R) video. Web sales of our Flix desktop products is also on a healthy trajectory, and we are adding new marketing initiatives behind this channel. Our latest generation codec, VP7, is continuing to gain traction as well. We secured a significant deal for our TrueMobile(TM) mobile video system using VP7, which provided an unexpected boost to an already exceptional quarter."

Oh, how I hate excessive jump cuts in films........but VIVIDAS itself is
superb. Not even a millimetre of framing around the edge. And the speed
of showing after a mouse click. Amazing.
No downloading, no registering, no buffering no nothing. Click and go.

[the_pimp] 01/5/2007 09:42

They did a live broadcast of the Spiderman 3 Premiere last night by the looks of it.

[lofty] 01/5/2007 09:25

Pleased I did not offload the other day when the share price had
the colly-wobbles. Happy with statement. If and when some dosh comes my way
I will have some more.

[stegrego] 01/5/2007 09:13

Pimp - looking like a good call so far....
