What seperates Reeltime from the Established Movie Rental Sites?
(Please Add your thoughts on .. Copy and Paste)
1. Most use a download model, which is costly, takes a long time and is annoying to say the least. As Barry told me .. "Most cannot stream, they don't have the technology"
- they can stream, but they have to recache. They can't streem for long periods of time. That is why ABC.com implemented short commercial breaks every 10 min of viewing, so they can catch up with transmission slow downs.
- networks will not be ready for full stream for very long time. Until they install fiber optics transmission lines to every houshold in US, and even then they will need quite large amounts of powerfull servers to be able to distribute the signal to all. Not to mention timing issues and switching.
- for now they concentrate on short video push and reloads.
- their video files are quite big(which means they need more time to deliver)
-Reeltime uses distributed processing model (P2P) in which the files are cut in chunks and pushed to multiple users at once, allowing them to share the chunks between themselves.
-another drawbacks for network will be quality (for now they are bragging they can stream HD quality - which in reality is pseudo HD, their players make it look nice, when in reality the video files are obscure (small)
-Reeltime uses video comression models that achive much better Video Quality and files are much smaller, allowing faster delivery. Networks will never go to 1080p true HD format (BLU-RAY)cause the video files are 50GB - and this is a huge amount of data to be pushed by networks (without interuption). It would make the delivery very expensive, therefore their movies will always be pseudo HD -just like Reeltime are. They will be working more on display quality of their browser based players creating illusions of great picture.
- Reeltime beats them for now, also they can adjust to bigger and bigger file formats as network speed abilities grow.
They have nothing to be ashame their picture quality can be scale up or down based on network speed/congestion conditions
-when the networks will fill up all cyber pipes with their videos, which will happen soon enough, Reeltime dependent on P2P distributed processing/delivery will be a definite winner.
- Movie Companies for their delivery methods need their own propriatary networks, which is like what cable companies have now (explicitly for internet) which is counter productive (since they can deliver programms over the cable already -too bad is not interactive VOD, for that they need to hook up the servers to their wires -which is expensive to organize)
Microsoft did the reaserch years ago, they wanted to go to video on demand first, they could not, since it was required for them to build their privet internet channels to every home in US. They still waiting cable companies will eat the cost.
2. Lower cost of delivery ... Like 1/10 th or less ?
- P2P is free, one day networks could charge per megabit delivery. Since Reeltime uses file compression they cost always will be smaller then Big Networks.
3. Security .. Cannot be copied/hacked to our knowledge
-totally checked and true, distributed file chunks are tracebale but imposible to put together. (unbreakable method)
4. Better Picture Quality
- DVD quality or HD (not real, but real HD will not be available until 2050)Anybody who claim they can stream HD(1080p or 720p) is a lier. Ask them to show you the video file sizes they delivered to your computer. For HD 20 GB for Blue-Ray 50GB to compare.
5. Instant Access - Point, Click and Watch
Reeltime has smallest delay between Point-Click and Watch on the market now. I hope as congestion grows, Reeltime access time will stay this same or get better due to P2P distributed users growth.
It would be helpfull if you read this few times and think about it. I have BS in computer science/EE and work experience in software/hardware companies for last 20 years.
Trust me I am right.
We need to move to the market quick and get the business now.
I wish they had more money, more stuff to hire -develop web marketing dept. It may be too slow too litle if they dont.
