Chapter 264 (1/2)
Miramax film company was founded in 1979, much earlier than Galaxy film company, which owns a lot of film copyright. At this time, Nicholas IMDB company urgently needs to buy a large number of film network copyright, just to use it!
This time, Nicholas IMDB company spent more than 200 million dollars to buy tens of thousands of film and television works.
Real networks company has also improved the RealPlayer video player, classifying the ”online photo library” into categories. After users click in, it's clear at a glance!
Because of the IMDB website, it is not difficult to promote RealPlayer video player.
IMDB website is the world's largest internet photo gallery, ranking in the top 10 for website traffic.
IMDB didn't have the function of ”online viewing” before, but now it does.
In fact, the so-called ”online viewing” has changed the concept. Today's browsers can't provide movie viewing on the web. After clicking ”watch online”, only a black screen will appear on the webpage, which will display a typesetting ”please download RealPlayer video player to watch the film, if RealPlayer video player cannot play, please refresh the page once”!
A ”RealPlayer download” option appears at the bottom of the black screen. Click to download RealPlayer video player!
RealPlayer video player will be released at 12:00 noon on July 20, and the homepage of IMDB website also gives links for promotion and download.
At present, there are all kinds of download software on the market, the most famous of which is thunderbolt P2P.
Thunderbolt P2P is a software developed by the P2P Department of Williams laboratory. The software is less than 1MB, simple and practical. The most important thing is that the software, like its name, has a tendency of being too fast to cover your ears. The download speed is very fast!
It is precisely because of this that thunderbolt P2P can quickly occupy the download software market and become one of the current mainstream download software!
At the same time, thunderbolt P2P also launched its own website. Website is different from software, rich in content, all kinds of software can be found on the thunderbolt P2P website, and even download the rankings for your reference.
When downloading RealPlayer video player, if you don't have thunderbolt P2P on your computer, you will download thunderbolt P2P first and then RealPlayer by default.
In previous lives, Henry downloaded the game or something. At the beginning, he downloaded the company's download software by default, and then downloaded the real game through this download software! This is the red fruit binding, no matter whether the user is willing or not, it has to be like this anyway!
The launch of RealPlayer means the opening of the Internet online viewing era, which immediately set off a huge wave on the Internet!
On July 20, the slogan on the home page of IMDB website was: ”epoch-making software - RealPlayer online video player!”
When you click in, you will see the detailed introduction of RealPlayer video player.
”RealPlayer uses the most advanced technology at present. It doesn't need to wait to download. It can download and watch at the same time. Even at a low network speed, users can watch videos smoothly! At present, RealPlayer's online movie library has tens of thousands of the hottest movies and TV works. You can watch them with a click. Users are welcome to download and use them! ”
Some people read the slogan on the home page and download RealPlayer; Some people see that there is an ”online viewing” option under the pictures of some movies, which can not be downloaded curiously.
No matter what way, after downloading and using RealPlayer, the user satisfaction is very high.
”Cool. In the past, I could only see pictures and introductions of one movie. If I wanted to see it, I had to rent a video. It was too much trouble! Watch it online, it's like a crane
”Oh, it's so cool. I can watch a lot of movies at home! Ho ho, I choose tens of thousands of films. If they are put together, it's dazzling! However, RealPlayer has already considered for users. It is very user-friendly. It separates movies from TV and classifies them into sci-fi, horror, action and so on. What kind of movies or TV plays do you want to watch? Just look for them in this category! ”
“……”
The layman looks at the scene, the expert looks at the door.
The industry is shocked by RealPlayer!
”I'm a programmer, online viewing involves many technologies, such as video compression technology, which is very difficult. At present, no company has been able to realize the function of online viewing. Real networks is awesome
”It can be predicted that the launch of RealPlayer video player will rewrite the Internet video field, and even have a huge impact on traditional industries!”
”The key technology of RealPlayer is the video format. Only the video format with high compression efficiency can be downloaded and watched online. We know that Microsoft launched avi video format this year. When avi video format was just released on the Internet, many people were surprised and called it the best video format. In fact, avi video format at that time, it was! Within a few months, however, AVI was overtaken. To be exact, it is totally different from the video format supported by RealPlayer player, which can be said to be a big difference
”The video format supported by RealPlayer is called RMVB video format, which is developed by real networks, a little-known company. Previously, we never knew the existence of this company until the release of RealPlayer video player. However, after some investigation, it is found that real networks is not the small company we imagined, because behind it stands a person whom everyone must look up to... This person is Henry Williams! ”
”From this, we can know that success is no accident!”
……
……
A week later, the number of RealPlayer downloads exceeded 1 million, and the number of movies played by ”online movie library” reached 15 million times.
The film companies were shocked when the data just came out.
15 million times. If it's used to rent or buy videos, it's tens of millions of dollars!
You know, this is still the performance of RealPlayer in one week!
Film companies are crazy, and even regret selling the online copyright to Nicholas IMDB, so that when Marcy Freemont wants to buy the online copyright of films again, he has many difficulties.
However, it won't be long before pirated videos will come out.
Real networks is the main culprit that accelerates the emergence of piracy. A week later, real networks released a software tool, RMVB format converter, which can convert all kinds of current video formats into RMVB video format.
