SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire/ — MotionDSP, an emerging
leader in digital video software, today announced a series of major
enhancements to its acclaimed consumer service, http://www.FixMyMovie.com. Users
can now experience one-step sharing of videos from mobile phones via MMS or
email, as well as free enhancement and iPhone(R) conversion.
Videos sent to FixMyMovie are automatically enhanced up to 4x their
resolution, with poor lighting conditions automatically fixed, bringing
dark videos back to life. In addition, low frame-rate videos are stabilized
and smoothed, and videos are converted to high-bitrate H.264 for the best
possible quality.
FixMyMovie was also just nominated as a finalist for the 2008 Webware
100 by CNET(R) — users can vote their support for the service at
http://www.webware.com/html/ww/100/2008/vote_video.html?compid=103548. For
the Webware 100 awards this year, 300 finalists were selected by editors
from more than 4,600 qualifying Web 2.0 services nominated by Webware
readers and company representatives.
Newly-added features allow anyone with a mobile phone to automatically
send movies directly from their phone to upload@fixmymovie.com — no
account on FixMyMovie.com is required. Once received, videos are
automatically enhanced, and a link to the video is sent back via email or
SMS. Registered users can then send the videos where they want — a single
click to YouTube(R), or embed the video on MySpace(R) pages, blogs, and
individual websites, or send a link to the newly-enhanced videos to any
email address.
Once registered with FixMyMovie.com, new videos sent from phone or
email go automatically to a personal gallery on the site, where they can be
easily shared. If a user hasn’t registered, the service will create an
account and email back details — ideal for first-time mobile users seeking
to easily try out the service with a minimum of typing.
http://www.FixMyMovie.com also prepares high-resolution versions of videos for
a variety of devices. This includes a high-resolution
iPod(R)/iPhone(R)/AppleTV(TM) compatible version and a Microsoft(R) Windows
Media(R) version of the file. Lastly, users can now grab high-resolution
JPEG pictures from any video — just pause your video in FixMyMovie and hit
the ‘capture’ button. The service creates a JPEG of that moment in time
that surpasses the resolution of the original video. This is a great new
way to get high-res photos from your videos.
“One of the biggest challenges facing camera-phone owners is how to get
videos off the phone and share them. Once they’ve figured that out, the
next thing they discover is that the video quality is terrible. We fix both
these problems with the latest technology and exceptional ease-of-use,”
said Dr. Sean Varah, CEO of MotionDSP. “The bottom line is that we’re
enabling your phone to be a viable video camera. With one-step mobile
uploads, push to YouTube, plus grabbing high-res pictures from video,
FixMyMovie.com is remarkably compelling — and free.”
During the consumer beta, FixMyMovie.com allows for free enhancement of
video clips smaller than CIF resolution (352×288 pixels) and less than 15
megabytes (almost any video from a mobile phone or digital camera fits this
requirement). Further details may be found at http://www.fixmymovie.com.
