FEATURE/"Video E-Mails" Are This Season's High-Tech Holiday Greeting!" -- Affordable Computer Add-On Makes Creating And Sending Video E-Mails Fast And Easy -- ÿ 12/15/97 Business Wire (Copyright (c) 1997, Business Wire) ÿ CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE FEATURES)--Dec. 15, 1997-- This Christmas, thousands of Americans are replacing their traditional Holiday family photo cards with lively, colorful video e-mails, thanks to Python, a new computer add-on from Videonics. The $349 device attaches to any PC laptop or desktop computers and digitizes video from camcorders, VCRs and other video sources into a standard MPEG file quickly and easily - ready to be sent to every e-mail address on your list. The best part is that anyone with a PC (or even a Mac Power PC) and an e-mail address can receive your full-motion holiday greeting and play it over and over again, or forward to even more friends and family. To send a video e-mail, all you have to do is set up a camcorder or desktop camera and capture your greeting using Python - you can even send it "live" through the internet. "We're thrilled that so many people have written to tell us they're using Python to send Christmas messages," says Videonics Vice President of Marketing, Kelly Thurber, who offers these helpful tips for creating a fun Holiday greeting: -- Keep It Short: Even though Python compresses full-motion video into the standard MPEG format small size for the Internet, the bottom line is that the longer your video, the more time it will take to transmit. A 15-30 second message is ideal. -- Don't Forget the Cameraman: Use a tripod to make sure the whole family, including Dad or Mom, gets in the picture. -- Don't Forget Sound: Remember that video is a sight and sound medium, so make sure your video includes an audio greeting. Kids might give their names and ages this year, and everyone could end with a big Merry Christmas or just a bit of a favorite carol. -- One Greeting Fits All: Keep your video e-mail greeting generic enough so it will be suitable for everyone on your list. That way you can easily upload the video and transmit it to all your friends and family at the same time. No stamps required!
