On January 11, 2002 eSynch Corporation announced that its Oxford Media Division has succeeded in compressing/recording 4 full length movies, about 7 hours in total length, onto a single DVD-ROM using eSynch's DRM technology in conjunction with Microsoft® Windows Media DRM technology and Microsoft® Windows Media ™ Encoder. The company’s EnhancedDVD-ROM ™ technology will enable content owners to consolidate their DVD-ROM replication by substantially increasing the amount of information on one DVD-ROM thereby decreasing replication costs. In addition the technology delivers protected video that can be unlocked on-demand via a transaction on the Internet and viewed using eSynch's MediaOffice ™, a Digital Rights Management solution.
Typically, a single DVD holds about 2 hours of programming. Unlike the common DVD, DVD-ROMs are designed to operate within your computer. The new Enhanced DVD-ROM ™, designed by Oxford Media, incorporates many new technologies into a super hybrid disc that may contain up to 8 hours of high quality video and audio, interactive menus, digital rights management, encryption and transaction capabilities.
David Lyons, president of eSynch Corporation stated, “The response to last week's press release introducing EnhancedDVD was overwhelmingly favorable… The telephone calls have not stopped since the release last week with interest spanning from the technology itself to the licensing and sales of the product. An article in The Hollywood Reporter on January 17 discussed the future of DVD and the Internet, mentioning that several major Hollywood studios are looking at the incorporation of the two. The article by Brent Sporich mentions eSynch's new EnhancedDVD-ROM ™ technology as “...enabling the incorporation of the DVD disc and the Internet, allowing a consumer to purchase a DVD video that also could unlock streaming media content on the Web or additional content from the disc. That content could be available for an additional price or as added-value bonus materials on the disc or from an Internet server.” The complete article is available at http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/
