DivX.com Hosts Trailer For Groundbreaking Internet Film “Radius”

Action Packed, High-Motion Scenes Highlight the Unsurpassed Quality of DivX Codec

San Diego, CA-June 27, 2001-DivXNetworks, the company that owns and operates the popular video convergence site DivX.com, today announced that the trailer for the upcoming online film “Radius” is available at www.divx.com. The full-screen, full-motion two-minute trailer, encoded using the latest DivXTM video compression technology, provides fans with a preview of the upcoming Internet-only science fiction film and showcases the DVD-quality of the MPEG-4 compliant DivX codec.

“This trailer truly represents a breakthrough in digital video compression that will benefit consumers, filmmakers and content aggregators alike,” said Jordan Greenhall, Founder and CEO of DivXNetworks. “We are excited to be involved with the ambitious Radius project, and this excellent trailer provides proof that it is possible to achieve consumer-level video quality that can be easily downloaded and viewed over IP networks. Filmmakers and content providers no longer have to choose between poor quality, postage stamp size streaming videos or huge, unmanageable MPEG-2 files. Thanks to DivX technology, there finally is a third way.”

The science-fiction action film “Radius” will be released exclusively on the Internet later this year. An ambitious project directed by former video game maker Helmut Kobler, “Radius” seeks to provide consumers with a high-quality, mainstream cinematic experience online. The “Radius” team has also provided an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the filmmaking process through their web site at www.radiusmovie.com.

“Our goal with Radius was to create a high-quality, mainstream science fiction action film for the Internet, and the impressive DivX technology helps us achieve that level of quality,” said Kobler. “With epic locations, a recognized cast and its ambitious visual effects, we think Radius will redefine how people think about films for the Internet, and we are pleased to present our work online.”
