Dazzle PR: Thursday January 22, 4:40 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Dazzle Multimedia, Inc. Romance Your Valentine: Send Them a Dazzling Love Story via Email Starring You This Valentines Day, Don't Go to the Video Store Looking for a Love Story, Use Your PC and Direct Your Own FREMONT, Calif., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Is your Valentine the apple of your eye? The love of your life? Did you see fireworks the first time you met? Do you feel butterflies when you touch? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then your Valentine deserves much more than one of the boring cards found in the card aisle at the supermarket. They deserve a Valentine that shows exactly how you feel. A personal love story, produced and directed by you with special effects, digital sound and full-motion video. Imagine the look on your Valentine's face when they open your email that contains a video clip of the first time you went on vacation together, the vow exchange at your wedding, or better yet a surprise marriage proposal. Creating a custom video email is fun and easy to do with one of the new video capture devices from Dazzle Multimedia. Any person wanting to play cupid can simply plug Dazzle or Snazzi into their computer and be ready to edit home videos (or record new ones) and send them off to loved ones over the Internet in a few simple steps. Sending the perfect gift on Valentine's Day has never been so easy. Dazzle Multimedia's Product Line Dazzle and Snazzi allow users to add true digital quality, full motion video to their favorite Windows 95-based applications to create full-screen movies and multimedia projects quickly and easily. Dazzle is an easy to install 5.25'' x 3'' external adapter that snaps directly onto a computer's parallel port in seconds. Snazzi is a PCI add-in card. Both products use a friendly five button on-screen software control panel that's easier to use than the typical TV remote control. Users can preview and see recorded images instantly. Both products allow users to capture video and snapshots from any video source including a camcorder, VCR, TV, laserdisc or DVD. Dazzle has a suggested retail price of $199 and Snazzi's suggested retail price is $399. To preserve your video Valentine for safe keeping (and future reference of proof that you really do care), Dazzle Multimedia created the Video CD ReWriter. An all-in-one solution to edit and record your movies and video snapshots onto a CD, the Video CD ReWriter includes a Snazzi card and a Phillips ReWritable CD drive for $599.

InfoTech Forecasts Worldwide DVD-ROM Title Revenue Will Exceed $500 Million in 1998 biz.yahoo.com Monday February 9, 8:14 am Eastern Time Company Press Release InfoTech Forecasts Worldwide DVD-ROM Title Revenue Will Exceed $500 Million in 1998 WOODSTOCK, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 1998--With the installed base of DVD-ROM equipped PCs projected to reach 7 million by year-end as PC manufacturers begin volume shipments of DVD-ROM equipped systems, worldwide DVD-ROM title revenue will rise from just $3.5 million in 1997 to $567 million in 1998, according to a new InfoTech report, Optical Publishing Industry Assessment, Ninth Edition. Royalties from PC and upgrade kit title bundles will continue to contribute the majority of consumer DVD-ROM title publishing revenue in 1998. By the second half of 1999, when DVD-ROM drives are expected to become a mainstream PC component, retail will become the dominant distribution channel for DVD-ROM titles, leading to a sharp increase in title revenue. By 2003, worldwide DVD-ROM title revenue across both PC desktop and TV set-top platforms is forecast to exceed $70 billion, as DVD-ROM supplants CD-ROM as the principal delivery format for all types of packaged interactive media, including applications software, business information, games, education and computer-based training. According to InfoTech Chairman and CEO Julie B. Schwerin, ''CD-ROM publishing across all applications and sectors was a $44 billion business worldwide in 1997. As the industry transitions to DVD-ROM, InfoTech expects packaged interactive media to maintain a compound annual growth rate of over 10 percent through 2003 even as worldwide Internet usage increases, with DVD-ROM providing a high bandwidth collectible format that is more complementary than competitive with online delivery. The imperative now for interactive publishers is to create properties that can migrate readily from platform to platform in order to maximize revenue opportunities.'' The InfoTech Report: Optical Publishing Industry Assessment is a comprehensive, statistical profile of the worldwide interactive entertainment and digital information industry, providing integrated title and hardware sales and installed base data by country from 1986 with projections through 2005. The report is available for $1,295 from InfoTech at 1.802.763.2097 or on the World Wide Web at infotechresearch.com. Headquartered in Woodstock, Vt., InfoTech is an independent market research and consulting firm specializing in quantitative analysis and forecasting of the electronic publishing, information technology and interactive entertainment industries.
