NOVOSIBIRSK, RUSSIA,
JUNE 27, 2007 - Movavi today
launched Movavi Online, a web-based
service that enables users to
convert video from one format to
another - for sharing, podcasting,
cellphones, iPods, and more - for
free.
Movavi Online
supports the advanced H.264 format
used by Apple's new iPhone.
The new service,
available at
http://online.movavi.com,
generates video files specifically
tuned for viewing in email, on
mobile devices, for video blogging (vlogging)
and video podcasting, and more.
From a companion
site,
http://online.movavi.com/tools.html,
Movavi also offers at no charge six
different widgets with which
bloggers, designers, developers,
individuals and companies may embed
a line of code in order to offer
video conversion services from their
own Web sites, blogs and social
networking pages.
As an online
service, there is no software for
users to install at the desktop.
Instead, as webware, the service
converts video uploaded from any
Windows, Mac or Linux-based PC with
access to the Internet via a Web
browser. Users simply upload a file,
choose the desired output format,
and provide an email address. When
the conversion is complete, Movavi
uses the email address to notify
users when and where they can
download their converted files. The
process usually takes less than a
day, and users may convert up to
five 10-minute, 100MB clips during
one session.
The service supports
a broad range of popular video
formats, including AVI, MP4, MPEG 2
(PAL and NTSC), MPEG 4, iPod at
320x240, iPod 5G at 640x480, PSP,
3gp and 3gp2 for cellphones, MOV for
podcasting, and FLV Flash video.
For users who want
to do more with video, Movavi offers
Movavi Video Converter, a $29.95
downloadable product that adds a
range of additional conversion
formats and lets users merge
multiple video files into a single
movie, rip DVDs, and extract
soundtracks from video files. Movavi
VideoSuite, the company's
comprehensive video processing
package, priced at $59.95, converts
video clips and movies from one
format to another; saves video and
DVD files to iPod, PSP, PDA and cell
phones; splits and splices video
files; adds filters and special
effects; fixes videos that are too
light or too dark; updates old
movies with professional filters;
rips, backs up and copies DVDs; and
burns data, audio and video files to
DVD, VCD and SVCD.
"Desktop software is
overkill for most users. They want
something simpler, something to
convert smaller clips for watching
on cellphones and other mobile
devices," said Natalie Khudyakova,
managing director of Movavi, a
leading developer of video
processing tools for home and
educational use. "Although we do, of
course, hope that some people will
be impressed enough with the online
service that they'll want to take
control of the process themselves
and purchase our VideoSuite."
