The online movie distribution company

LOS ANGELES--The online movie distribution company Jaman has made a niche for itself in the online film distribution market, focusing on indie and international films rather than big Hollywood hits.

The site offers 3,500 films--the kind that do well at film festivals, like The World's Fastest Indian and Redacted. Films can usually be rented for $1.99 or purchased for $4.99, and some can be watched for free with ads. Jaman CEO Gaurav Dhillon, who spoke with Andy at OnHollywood, said he expects free ad-supported content to be the more pervasive business model in the future.

So while Apple, Wal-Mart, Netflix and Amazon compete over online distribution rights for mainstream films, Jaman heads to the film festivals to make deals. Many of the films on Jaman's site don't get distributed at all in the US, so there's not as much competition.

Dhillon invested $3.5 million of his own money to start the company in 2006. The company has attracted a number of notable advisers and investors, including top Hollywood agent Jeff Berg, former senator Bill Bradley, William R. Randolph Hearst III and the celebrated Hollywood producer Ed Pressman.

Jaman's platform called Cascade makes it possible to transfer and watch the videos on different devices, including computers, iPhones, TiVo and DivX.

Disney To Push Blu-ray, The Future Is Here For Streaming Video

Disney To Push Blu-ray

27 August 2008 10:35 AM, PDT

Children's movies, which are generally credited with giving home video its initial thrust, may do the same for high-definition Blu-ray, if the Walt Disney Co. has anything to say about the matter. The New York Times reported today (Wednesday) that the film studio plans to release five "platinum" classic titles in the Blu-ray format over the next two years, including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Fantasia 2000, and Beauty and the Beast. The studio had previously said that it plans to release a Blu-ray version of Sleeping Beauty on October 7. Each of the discs, the studio said, will include a BD Live component, allowing children to connect directly onto the Internet to play the included interactive games with friends in other locations. Bob Chapek, president of Disney's home entertainment unit, told the Times: "BD Live is not a niche product. ... We see mass adoption of the technology." However, the newspaper pointed out that currently Blu-ray players with the Bd Live technology are from $300 to $700.

IF THERE IS A PROBLEM THERE IS A SOLUTION

'Significant shipping issues' haunt Netflix's deliveries

New Mexico Business Weekly

Netflix Inc. has been experiencing “significant shipping issues” since Tuesday, and the DVD rental company continues to have problems Thursday morning.

“We were able to ship some DVDs from about half of our distribution centers yesterday but we haven’t yet been able to resume shipping this morning,” Andy Rendich, interim head of operations and vice president of IT development for the Los Gatos, Calif. company, said in a blog posting Thursday. “Our engineers continue to work around the clock to restore normal operations. In the meantime, we’re notifying affected customers via personal email and we’ve posted a notice on the Netflix Web site.”

On Tuesday, Rendich said in the Netflix Community Blog that “members who should have been shipped a DVD today will automatically receive a credit to their accounts.”

Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) has a distribution center in Albuquerque.

I keep trying too reach out to netflix and give them a solution using

the social network and partner websites that appeal to the nitch markets

like the MARTIAL ART CHANNEL or THE FILMMAKERS CHANNEL

give the viewers more places to find their content, in the way they want to watch it

and in more ways to watch it like having there own video library where they could

purchase the DVD or DOWN LOAD or even pay/per/view their favorite movies

Don't be afraid to spread the wealth NETFLIX think of the Possibilities
