Another HD Web Media Player
An America company called Vircas (www.vircas.com) joins IM (www.im.com) and Australian company Vividas (www.vividas.com) in the $ 2 billion race to bring streaming HD to the web.
Vividas has a suite of products which include PPV (Pay Per View) and a HD encoder. The player is agnostic to platforms and uses a 'sniffer' technology to play out (has a look what you have to play out on).
Vircas believe that offering HD is the way forward for pay per view as people will pay for the quality. They have proprietary technology with extensive DRM.
Unfortunately Vircas describe HD as anything above 720x540 which is nobody's description of any HD we know except if you halve the vertical res.
One of their selling points is that using their streaming enables you to do away with DVDs for your distribution - is this the beginning of the end for the physical media of DVD?

High D,
Thanks for taking an interest in Vircas. Video quality delivered by VMP varies by connection speed. In most cases, to achieve 1080 video on VMP, one must simply have a 3.5meg connection. If we receive video that is of marginal video quality, then we do our best to deliver the best. Cheers.
1280 with a 3.5 meg connection. Sorry for my fat fingers! mb
I guess you meant 1280 and not 1080... Love HD quality and your player really rocks. Will I be able to upload my own video? Youtube and Google offer a shitty quality TBH.
