C'mon Bill....what are you talking about????

Is that not NVEI's movie (in the number 1 spot) that they had the foresight to shoot in High Def on Microsofts webpage? NVEI produced the 3rd on the market High Def DVD period. It has been all over Microsofts webpages as we have seen.

You act as if this hasn't happened?????? This did not happen by accident. As so many like to study after the fact here lets do just that. Bill, Cosmo, or anyone really. Can you put a best guess scenario how long before the DVD came out did NVEI start working with Microsoft? Do not forget that Microsoft has just developed media 9 and Step into Liquid was the 3rd DVD they could play on it in High Definition. TIA

WHP03: How about the possibility of someone rubbing shoulders with true decision makers at Alcatel? What percentage of possibility would you give that. Just curious.

Bill or Cosmo or anyone else that likes to bring up history on a daily basis. I have a history question that we do not know the answer to but maybe we can guess. I probally did not ask it clear enough ...let me try again.

1. When was it announced that the movie was going to be shot? (It had to be decided right up front if they planned to shoot the film in High Def or not correct?)
2. When was it announced that it was being shot in High Def?
3. Do you think they shot it in High Def on a whim and Microsoft heard about this and said "Hey we need a High Def film for our "New" Media 9 player?
4. How did New Visual know that Microsoft was even developing a High Def DVD player?
5. How did the two get together on this new technology?
6. When did this occur?

I started following the stock about two years ago right prior to the movie being released.

There were delays on the movie being released and we never talked much about that after the movie was released but at this point it is safe to assume that they released the movie tied into the release of the DVD which was tied to the release of Windows Media 9. It would not have made sense to do the movie a year in advance if you wanted to release the movie with Microsofts Windows Media 9. You would have lost some of the thunder on sales on the DVD waiting that long.
