A look back at Video Game History Do you remember Pac Man Space Invaders and Super Mario Brothers

Of all the things that the 1970’s produced, there are few that made as big of a cultural impact as video games. There’s no question about it: video games have been a significant force in society and one of the most popular leisure pursuits. Chances are if you’re under the age of 40, you played them, some of us a lot. There was Atari, Intellivision and Colecovision. Don’t forget Sega and Nintendo. Today there are web sites that allow you to download free online games.

And if you remember those days of the late ‘70’s and early 80’s, you recall that the games relied on graphic improvements and better ways of shooting the enemy. It was more or less a solitary pursuit. With the rise of the Internet and online games however, lots of things changed, including the ability to download games and playing online games, making games a more social activity, with lots of players, or opponents playing each other from different countries. This may be the biggest change – and the latest benefit that games have offered the world.

But what about the early days? How did it all start and what were the video games that defined the era?

The Innovators

Many people think that Pong was the home game that started it all, but really it was Magnavox and their "Odyssey" system in 1972. Although it was very simple, it was still the first. It had twelve simple games with graphic overlays. However, there was lots of room for improvement, and that’s where Pong came into play.

Nolan Bushnell created Pong, along with Al Alcorn, the founder of Atari. Rumor has it that when the prototype was tested at a California bar, the machine broke down after two days, because it was so popular. The next logical step was to create a home version. So, one year later, Atari released Pong, complete with built in paddles, and a speaker. Of course, Pong was a huge success and represented a new stage in the evolution of gaming. Over sixty Pong knock-offs would be produced, but Atari dominated the market.

Next was the implementation of the microprocessor, which the entire industry adopted. As a result of this, more complicated systems could be developed. These systems produced groundbreaking and innovative graphical and auditory effects that had never been seen before. Consumers were eating it up. The industry was on fire. In 1981 alone, five billion dollars were spent on video arcade machines and another billion dollars was spent on home video game systems. Atari’s VCS/2600 system remained the dominant player through 1982, when the gaming market experienced a crash.

What were some of the great games? How about Pac Man? Pac Man, the yellow blob that ate up dots and avoided squid-like ghosts, was a worldwide sensation and probably the biggest game of all time.

Space Invaders was another incredibly popular game. In fact, it really marked a turning point for arcade games, bringing them out of bars and into family friendly places like shops and restaurants. The premise of Space Invaders was to stop an alien invasion. This simple formula went on to become the most successful arcade game of all time.

Then there was Super Mario, which was huge as well. It involved an Italian anti-hero who was deliberately designed as a character that everyone could relate to. Soon thereafter came Zelda, Metroid, and other classics.

Rise and Fall of Atari

Atari was the hottest thing in the gaming world in the early ‘80’s. Today, they are a relic of past glory. So what happened? Atari made some bad decisions, and although it’s a little complicated, it’s helpful to understand the situation. At that time in the computing world, magnetic mediums were implemented in the data storage used in Arcade machines. These mediums allowed for a higher memory capacity than ROM cartridges.

In 1982, Atari had the option to include a disk drive in their systems. The price difference would have been nominal, and the memory capacity would have been significant. Atari, however, thought that magnetic media was too “fragile” for the consumer to adequately handle. Atari's "concern" for the customer backfired on them. In the previous years, there had been a very fine line separating arcade game quality from home game quality. With arcades utilizing storage capacities ten to forty-five times larger than home systems that fine line became a chasm. Arcade games seemed to be evolving exponentially, while home systems seemed "stuck in a time warp.”

The public quickly became uninterested in video game specific consoles, and sales plummeted.
This would mark the end of Atari's reign of the video game market.

The Rise of the New

In 1984, everything changed. The reason? Two innovations: The reduction in cost of Dynamic RAM (DRAM) chips which allowed more memory, and the production of higher power 8-bit processors, which lowered the prices of the previous chips. Sega, a new player in home gaming systems, entered the console market with their Master System 2. The Sega Master system would sell very well, but its success would be limited.

The other key player was Nintendo of Japan. The genius of Nintendo was their marketing prowess, as they poured millions into advertisements. These advertisements hit consumers at the perfect time, as evidenced in their sales. In fact, Nintendo couldn’t manufacture enough systems to keep up with demand. After all was said and done, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) would become the highest selling system in history. They would also become the most notorious, as they were involved in the intimidation of retailers, competing companies, and other suppliers and partners.

Over the next five years Sega and Nintendo would battle for dominance, going back and forth. The consumer definitely benefited from this rivalry.

Today, it’s between PlayStation 2, the Xbox and the GameCube. Xbox has taken the step to merge the past and present, where Xbox "Live Arcade" is a console system that has a "download-like" characteristic where you can buy games via the console itself. One thing in the video game industry will always remain: the classic games of yesterday were great games, helped define an era, and will always be fun.

The Brain Games How Videos Games Can Make You Smart

Video games have been getting a bad rap. Sure, a few involve nothing more than pointing several deadly weapons at the Undead and blasting them into a bajillion pieces. And there are cases of people wasting otherwise productive hours conquering a virtual kingdom and accumulating pixelized gold instead of going out and getting a real job.

But there are many, many times when video games actually provide a noble purpose in society. When they make you a better person. Or at least, a smarter person.

Because there are video games that are actually built on logic and reasoning, and involve complex problem solving that you can take with you even after you’ve walked away from the computer screen.

Take Tetris. Okay, so it’s a couple of colored blocks set against a metallic, monotonous sound track – but it takes some degree of analysis and quick thinking to assess the shape of the pieces dropping from the top of the screen and deciding where to put it. Factor in that the game speeds up periodically, and the pile of blocks grows with every mistake you make, until you reach a point when one wrong move can kill your chances of breaking the world record—and your brain starts working pretty fast. Faster, in fact, than you would normally use it in the course of the day; admit it, most of the stuff you do at the office is pretty mind numbing, anyway. Between sharpening pencils and performing lightning-fast spatial analysis exercises, Tetris looks like it’s actually good for you.

And then there are the memory games. Ever spent 20 minutes looking for your keys? Or stood at the center of the parking lot, trying to remember if you parked on the same floor? Well, memory games can work that brain muscle so you don’t forget the important stuff (and yes, that includes your wedding anniversary). Studies show that memory isn’t really a function of IQ; it’s a skill: the ability to organize information in your brain, and then retrieve it through a series of memory-triggers. Not all of this is conscious (although you can take active steps to improve memory by researching on what methods you can use). But like all skills, it improves with use. Hence, memory games. The best part about memory games is that they’re actually fun (as opposed to simply memorizing a list of the capitals of each state, or the periodic table of elements) and even relaxing. Yes, relaxing. You’re doing something you love and getting smarter at the same time. Not a bad way to spend a 20 minute break between meetings.

And then there are the strategy games. Conquering the world, running a city, shaping an empire from a handful of barbarian villages to being the first country to set up a space station on Mars—obviously, these aren’t just random point and shoot games. They’re about the same skills you learn in business school, but with cooler graphics: how to manage resources, motivate people, and set goals.

O and O MediaRecovery V4 Rescue Mistakenly Deleted Photos Videos and Songs

Quick and easy recovery of all popular media files such as digital photos, videos and MP3s

Almost overnight, analog cameras and traditional stereo systems have become seldom seen devices in consumer households. More and more, these "antique" devices have given way to more advanced, compact and versatile digital equipment. Analog media have quickly been replaced by volumes of files accumulating on hard disks, memory cards and other storage platforms. For a family, these files could contain irreplaceable personal memories that, if lost or deleted, would catastrophic for those involved.

Luckily, with the right software solution there is hope. O&O MediaRecovery V4 has been optimized specifically for recovering accidentally deleted photos, videos and music files off of devices connected directly to a computer. O&O MediaRecovery can make music files from a MP3 Player, photos from a digital camera or videos from a camcorder reappear, as if they were
never gone. Frank Alperstaedt, Managing Director at O&O Software: "Those who know what it's like to lose irreplaceable photos or videos of a memorable vacation or a child's birthday, know how much it can hurt. O&O MediaRecovery lets users avoid such painful situations. It is very important to remember, however, that for the best chances of a successful media recovery, the disk space made free through the mistaken deletion of data must not be
overwritten by the creation of new files."

Jackson made videogame for Microsoft

Microsofts video games could get much more Hollywood excitement and drama as the company today announced that it will create Wingnut, a new game studio in cooperation with Academy award winning writer, director, and producer Peter Jackson as well as Academy Award-winning screenwriter Fran Walsh.
According to an announcement made Wednesday, Jackson and Walsh will be deeply involved in key titles to be published under various Microsoft brands. In a first stage, the parties will collaborate to develop two new interactive entertainment series for the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live, the first of which will be a sequel to Halo and the second will be an entirely original property targeted at bringing new audiences into the captivating world of interactive entertainment.

Microsoft Corp. said on Wednesday that it is teaming with Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson to create content for its Xbox 360, in part to get more mainstream users interested in the companys video game console.
Just dont call these products games. I dont want to classify it as a game. I am hoping to stretch the definition of interactive entertainment to go beyond the game, said Shane Kim, a corporate vice president in charge of Microsoft Game Studios. Kim conceded he is not sure what exactly these new entertainments might be.
I feel like we have not figured it out, to be honest, he said. Whatever they are, Kim said they could include deeper plot lines and more interactive drama, or delivering additional content over time, perhaps through the companys Xbox Live online service. Its about making interactive entertainment a mainstream form of entertainment, Kim said.

Jackson and his Academy Award-winning screenwriter, Fran Walsh, will be directly involved in the creation of the new Halo title. Jackson, whose third movie in his Rings trilogy won 11 Oscars, including best director and best film, plans to work with Bungie Studios to create one product based on Microsofts already popular Halo game, Kim said. Screenwriter Fran Walsh, Jacksons wife, also is on board. The other product will be aimed at an audience beyond the young men typically associated with video games. Kim could not say when either of Jacksons projects might come out.

Microsoft also said on Wednesday that it was working on another Halo game, called Halo Wars. It will be more of a strategy game, rather than the first-person shooter that has typified the series until now.
Halo Wars will be in addition to Jackson creation and the previously announced Halo 3, due out next year. The company also announced North American and European pricing for its external DVD player, which will be available in November as an add-on to the Xbox 360.

How You can Easily get started with video online.

Videoblogging is the future of posting ideas and products over the internet. Everybody knows about textblogging. Now they use videos for a better way to get the sales message accross.

This form of communication may entail a lot of resources, but it is all worth it. If a picture says a
thousand words, videoblogging blows that right out of the water.

A videoblog requires larger disk spaces on websites, a faster server, and a whole new set of programs to support it.

Videoblogs can be fed through RSS. This is technology of syndicating your website to other RSS aggregators.

Videoblogging allows people on the internet to express themselves. Now if you put this on a business prospective, you are scoring a lot of benefits.

Think of it as a powerful tool in showing your prospective customers your line of products, or your services. It’s just like showing a commercial all for free. And if you videoblog through RSS, then most probably you are getting to your target market way more effienciently.

People like to watch viedos of what they are going to buy. Some would like to see proof to be sure that they are getting their money’s worth before parting with thier hard earned cash. All of us know the influence of a thirty second commercial.

The effect of videoblogging is similar to that. You show your product, people watch it. If they like it, they buy it. If you present it well enough, they’ll buy the product even if they don’t need it.

Now on the web, webpages are pretty much static, unlike in television in which all are moving. If you post something that is moving, it would most likely catch attention. Now imagine your product parading in all it’s royalty through a videoblog. You’ll get phone call orders in no time at all.

If your business is just starting up, you can create a videoblog right at your own home.

All you need is,

*your web camera,

*microphone,

*video software,

*and lights.

IF you know how to use your camera, then you can create a videoblog.

Invest in a good web camera. The higher its resolution is the better the performance. And you like to present your goods in the best light so get the best one possible.

Make a short script, or just capture your goods on the fly. Just make sure you are getting the best shot for each. Get those creativity juices flowing, and be imaginative.

Lights are important in a production. Make sure you illuminate the area you are going to use to create your videoblog. The brighter the area, the better the images will be. You can also use lighting effects for added appeal to the presentation, but don't overdo it with the special effects.

Sounds are as important as videos on a videoblog. It is advisable to make your sound effects as enticing as the video.Should you require sounds for your videoblog, you need a microphone. Record you voice as a voice over for promoting the product and the benefits to consumers.

Your video editing software can be one of many programs. You need this to finalize your work. You can add sounds, delete some bad angles, or insert some still pictures in there too. Some programs are user-friendly and can be used even with zero knowledge on video editing.

Even simple video editing programs should do the trick. Select your background carefully too.

The light affects the presentation so make sure that the background and the light complements each other.

Videoblogging is a great tool but it also has it cons. It may slow down the computer so some people may steer clear of it. Download time may also be time consuming especially if your customer is still on a dial-up connection.

But don’t let that stop you. Let videoblogging be an alternative for you, though it is best to still keep the text and pictures present in your presentation to accommodate all possible viewers of your site.

In this new age, the more creative you are in presenting your product to the market, they more youare likely to succeed.

Videoblogging offers an interactive way of selling. You involve the customers. You instill in them the benefits of owning your products.

Prepare Yourself Before Buying Software

Before you go to the store to buy software write down your computers specifications. You'll need the type and speed of the processor. How much ram your computer has. What kind of video card? How much disk space is available? Usually, these things are easy to find on your computer.

On Windows you can navigate to "Programs >Accessories >System Tools." Then click on "System Information" and you should see a summary containing your computers operating system, processor, and memory information. Next click on the plus sign to expand the "Components" category. There under "Display" you will find your computers video card specifications. You may also need to know what kind of sound card is installed. Select "Sound Device" to see the name and manufacturer of this device. Under "Storage" you can select
Drives to check how much available disk space you have. This will be labeled "free Space." Other information you may need, depending on the type of program, are network
and modem specs.

Once You have selected a piece of software make sure that it is compatible with your computer. Most software programs come on CDs now and will include their minimum requirements
somewhere on the packaging. They may require that you have a special video card or adapter. It may require that you have a particular type of processor, so make sure that your computers processor is equal or better. Make sure you have enough ram to run the program. Usually, they will give a minimum and a recommended amount, but I have always found that it is best to go with the recommended amount.

Another thing to take into account is pricing. Sometimes you can save a lot of money by purchasing an earlier version of a particular piece of software. Just make sure that it has
all the features that you want and that it is compatible with your computer. The best place to look is on the Internet. You can compare pricing without having to run all over town. Go to your favorite search site, and search for the software that you are looking for. Somtimes you can buy
online for less, but make sure you check the shipping costs.

FAQs about Software Joint Ventures and Audio Downloads

As with any business, Internet businesses have to deal with a wide gamut of decisions. Internet businesses have to deal with technical issues, marketing issues, and dealing with customers to name a few. This article provides tips on three common issues that pop up again and again which include: software, joint ventures, and questions about audio downloads.

What software should your Internet business use with affiliate programs? Kick Start Cart/One Shopping Cart is a wonderful option. It is easy to use. Many Internet marketers use this software. It is very user friendly and is a great way to connect with affiliates. It is not only user friendly for you, but for you affiliate as well.

Using Clickbank enables you to have other sellers on Clickbank sell your products and services as well. It should be noted that Clickbank only sells digital products. You can get this software http://www.powerfulpromoter.com.

What is the top way to bring in new buyers? Joint Ventures are the number one best way to obtain buyers. Joint Ventures enable you to get the best leads that lead to the best buyers and best sales.

Joint ventures work very well for informational products, but what about physical products? How can you set up a JV that will work for a physical product? In general, for informational products a JV partnership is usually a 50-50 split. However, for physical products you may want to have a 90-10 split because it takes much more time to make the physical product. You will have to do this because you have much more overhead including materials and labor, etc.

What is the best way to quickly and cheaply create audio and audio downloads for your list? What links do you recommend? The best way to create an audio to sell to your list is to get an MP3 player at Walmart or Radio Shack. Make sure you can record on it and save in MP3 format on your computer. Get a microphone and you can create an audio file. Find an MP3 player that record your voice and save as an MP3 file on your computer.

Is an eBook better than an audio download? What are the advantages? It depends on your list. Are people on your list visual? Then they’ll like the EBook better. If they are auditory then make an MP3.

Where can you find audio equipment that is of high quality and at an affordable price? Head over to the following website www.internetaudioguy.com to find the audio equipment you need.

Capture and save Internet multimedia data streams easily

For Immediate Release

Sytexis Released Web Stream Recorder Pro 1.3


Capture and save Internet multimedia data streams easily


Web Stream Recorder Pro, as the name implies, is a network utility (Internet and LAN) that captures and records streams of video and audio data that is being transferred. The tool is frequently used to record live video and audio broadcasts, "teleseminars" or net radio shows. More over, the tool is simply indispensable for situations when the source URL is unknown or is being deliberately obfuscated.
Plus, the program can save video clips from the computer screen, as in web chats or MSN/Yahoo Messenger media.

Web Stream Recorder Pro is capable of capturing Windows Media Audio/Video streams (ASF, WMA, WMV, WMX, NSC, WAX) and Shoutcast streams (MP3 files). When recording a Shoutcast stream, it is cut into a set of different files, with each track saved as a separate file with the name taken from the track header. In a sense, Web Stream Recorder Pro works like a specialized download manager for multimedia files, allowing multiple downloads to proceed simultaneously.

Because Web Stream Recorder Pro comes with a task scheduler, the program can be used as a programmable "web recorder" and save important events that are being broadcasted while a person is away. Since the program uses a rather frugal interface that is extremely straightforward, Web Stream Recorder Pro can be easily set up and operated by any person with no experience in this field whatsoever.

Web Stream Recorder Pro is available at www.sytexis.com for free evaluation. The full version has no restrictions and costs only 39.95 US Dollars to register. There is also a regular version of the product available, priced at 19.95 USD.

Multi Media Technologies Changing Lives For The Better

Multi-media technologies, are a meld of audio, video, and imaging software, used to capture, edit, store, and search, retrieve, transfer, distribute, and access information through multiple means. Hence � the term multimedia.

As these technologies become more advanced and versatile, they've enabled content creators to design and facilitate the presentation of information to new levels.

What about the audience? Today's audience is highly sophisticated, with a bigger appetite for media experiences where fast motion, brilliant color, energy, textures, powerful sounds, and richer content are the order of the day, engaging their senses, and piquing their interest.

The good news is, the use of multi-media technology has gone mainstream. There are many websites which offer free and cheap downloads of multimedia programs to give anyone from the budding filmmaker, teacher, the lawyer, CEO, marketing whiz, and to the homemaker the ability to communicate their ideas, in vivid details, from the big picture to the tiniest details.

Indeed, these technologies permeate our daily existence. And makes it a fair question to ask. "Is there value to be found in using multimedia technologies?" Yes, and here's why.

In today's world, information has become the new currency, with many countries scrabbling to move heavily into an information-based society. Technologies such as multi-media software, give an added advantage to it's' users, providing them the tools to clearly convey ideas and thus, produce valuable content. That gives them premium importance.

Nevertheless, it may surprise you to know that not only has multimedia technologies revolutionized the way we live, work, create, but it has spawned new industries and killed old ones.

For instance, in the work place, these technologies provide office workers the means to communicate, and collaborate, with colleagues on the other side of the planet, from different time zones, through desktop video conferencing, shared workspace, and multimedia messaging. Companies in fact, purchase multi- media technologies, to provide the employees the ability to create, edit graphics audio and video files, and use these to create presentations, and other work related products.
For one's entertainment needs, there's a choice between movies or videos on demand, and pay-per-view, among others. In this instance, multi-media technologies give the consumer the freedom to select what she, or he wants to watch.
For audiophiles, there are many free and cheap software programs, which provide the users the freedom to select the file format, how it will be recorded, and where it will be stored. All you'll need is a high bandwidth, and the pc equipment to record and capture the audio.
For serious gamer's multi-media software have created stimulating new games, better quality special effects, richer playing environments, betting/gambling software, multiplayer games, and polling. These technological tools, have accelerated the growth of the video game industry, and expanded research for better computer graphics, simulation, modeling, and artificial intelligence.

Even if you were not a serious gamer, you would greatly appreciate the ability to download interactive video games, while you're in your pajamas, in the privacy of your home.

Advertising has become intuitive, for as the differences between television and the internet continue to blur, advertisers have turned to interactive infomercials, to get consumers to buy. These tools allow advertisers to track the users' preferences and create an infomercial especially suited to the users' needs. Another nifty product is the virtual catalogue, where the customer can inspect the products before purchasing them, in the privacy of their home.

The use of multimedia technologies for home shopping, banking and financial transactions, telephony, medical advice, restaurant or hotel guides, is a commonplace activity for consumers.

Even the way we learn and package information from books, magazines, atlases, and newspapers has improved. One brilliant example is the educational CD Rom. Think about the fact that an entire 32-volume Encyclopaedia Britannica book set can be compressed into two cds.

In retrospect, one can see the world has benefited immensely with the use of multi-media technologies. It has brought humanity closer by making distance a non-issue, freedom of choice a reality and the conveyance of ideas, more precise.

Benefits of Integrating Online Chat Software with CRM

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is a strategy and processes used to learn more about customers' needs and behaviors in order to develop stronger relationships with them. CRM applications are traditionally developed as client-server software. The proliferation of the Internet and the Web has fueled the rapid growth of Web-based CRM or online CRM applications. Web CRM systems are widely deployed for Web based call center, contact management, trouble ticket, personal information manager and scheduling. As more and more corporations use chat software to provide quality customer support, many CRM vendors have built chat functionality into new generation of Web-based CRM systems.

The first generation of text-based online chat software was developed years before the World Wide Web (WWW) gained its popularity. The new generation of Web-based chat software is much more user-friendly and is powered with audio and video chat.

There're many benefits to integrate chat software into CRM systems.

1. Many customers have experience in using chat software

New technology is often challenged by user acceptance. Fortunately, online chat has been widely accepted by average Internet users. It is estimated that tens of million of Internet users login to online chat rooms regularly. In free adult chat rooms or free teen chat rooms , people talk about anything under the sun - love, pets, music and games.

2. One customer service representative is able to support multiple customers at the same time.

It is common to wait 30 minutes or even more before a customer can talk to a support representative. With chat software, customers have a better chance of instant access to a service representative. One support team member may be able to chat with a few customers at the same time.

3. Chat software can automatically log a support chat session

Call center software is capable of recording support conversations. However, it requires extra cost to convert audio recordings to digital information that a computer can understand and extract valuable information from. Chat software, on the other hand, can be easily configured to automatically log a support chat session.

Multimedia Advertising Some Recommendations To Improve Effectiveness And Visitor Responsiveness.

More and more online businesses and internet marketers are recognizing the tremendous benefits and responsiveness that multimedia generates when used as an advertising medium and marketing strategy.

For those that utilize multimedia effectively, significant increases in buy rates, conversion rates and subscription rates have been experienced and all within a very short period of time. However, many believe that just adding any old media content, such as video and audio onto their website will generate significant increases in visitor responsiveness regardless of content presentation, quality, and other attributes that contribute to a positive experience for the website visitor.

Just so that we are clear, this assertion is very wrong and can have potentially negative consequences from a marketing and/or advertising standpoint.

My philosophy is quite simple. Using multimedia to advertise your product or service needs to follow the same basic rules and principles as would apply to any other strategy or medium that
can be used to convert prospects into subscribers and buyers. Yes, multimedia does improve conversion rates but it has to be done right and convey professionalism. This is absolutely
essential.

When it comes to video and audio content online, what's often been the case is that those who have tried to add this type of media content to their websites have unfortunately had disastrous
results. For example, with video content, many have added videos to their webpages that are of extremely poor quality, small and ugly. The overall experience for the viewer - Poor. One of the
biggest problems has been the fact that the videos load very slowly. Visitors are turned off completely by the fact that they have to wait for minutes, even longer sometimes in order for the video or audio file to start playing. This, unfortunately, is a result of these webmasters using cookie-cutter solutions to add video or audio content to their site without really knowing the
implications and limitations. As I said, with multimedia...either do it right or don't do it at all. For those who do their research and take a little time to produce video and audio content that is of good quality, the results have been tremendous.

Bottom Line: If you want to capture the attention of your visitors,you need to use top notch technology to bring your message to that person and provides the viewer with a positive experience.

If you do plan on adding video and audio content to your website, here are a few simple guidelines to follow when determining what the best multimedia solution is for you:

1. Cost Effective: You need a solution that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and leaves you with great video and/or audio content on your website but flat broke.

2. Fast loading Media Content (Video/Audio) that can play almost immediately. Website isitors are fickle and inpatient so its not wise to keep them waiting when trying to view your video
advertisement or listen to your audio message.

3. Superior Website Integration: Video and Audio Content that can appear to be seamlessly Integrated into your websites and emails. Viewers don't have to view video and audio ads with
media player's that annoyingly pop-up on top of their internet browsers and distract them from the rest of your website.

4. Superior Customization: Video and Audio Advertisements that can be customized for your websites and emails based on your specific requirements.

5. The ability to handle a large volume of simultaneous visitors.

6. Large-Scale Playability: Viewing/Listening DOES NOT require the download of additional plug-ins. Don't make your visitors have to download any special software to view or listen to the video and audio content on your website.

7. The media content needs to be of reasonably good quality and resolution. Don't worry, you don't need Lord of the Rings quality to provide your website visitors with a positive experience. They won't expect perfect quality but you need to make sure that the content is of good quality.
Of course, we can get into specific details about each one of these things but we won't get into that in this article. These are just high-level, general guidelines that you can follow when shopping around for a good multimedia solution for your business.Multimedia does have impressive results from a marketing perspective. That's why the big companies and brand names are utilizing multimedia content to sell their products and services.

However, not everyone has the exact same budget and requirements and if you are looking for a multimedia solution you need to spend some time shopping around to find a solution that offers the best bang for the buck.

Steps to create your own music video

Music has always attracted people since generations. If you are one who loves music, you may wish to create a music album or video of your own. Creating a music album needs some DVD's or CD's, video capturing software, video editing software, good imagination, time and patience.

Useful tips:
1. You should use music or video from a CD or DVD you have purchased and not you have downloaded.
2. Always pick a song that matches with your prospective video clips. Action clips won't go right with romantic songs.

3. Never put entire episode to music instead choose best parts of the episode and combine them together such that one flow to the other. You can also imagine TV previews as shown on the television.

4. Creativity counts a lot in making a good music video.


Steps to make the video:
1. The first and most important thing is to plan the video you wish to make. If you plan well everything will go right and you will get some good results. You should pick any song that you like and at the same time the song should have an anime feel. It's not necessary that you choose pop or rock but anything that could be really rocking.

2. Video that you are going to make should have music matching to it. Most of the rock themes have a mix of mild verse and explosive chorus. After you have selected the tune, you should decide that which of the video clips will go right with the music tune.

3. Next you need to pick your video which is going to be very time consuming. You can import selected MPEG or AVI format into the CD's you have purchased. Many software programs are also available that could help you in doing so or you can use a video capture card to get same results. After importing all the clips, you should slice them appropriately.

4. Use editing programs such as Adobe Premier and Pinnacle to slice the song lyrics. These editing programs will import the music along with the video so that you can preview your work.

5. Lastly you need to burn your work into a CD to save it for future.
