Movies on demand via the Internet

Distributing live movies via the Internet using perceptibly lossless video compression

Application ready for use

Abstract: Imagine a website on the Internet that contains thousands of old or new movies for downloading or instant viewing on a laptop, a PC, or television sets ranging from small screens to large screen HDTV. It would provide a new means for Hollywood to distribute its movies to large screen entertainment centers. Each movie download would be charged with a fee. Such a system was designed and built in the year 2000. It is ready for a live demonstration. The new system provides: very high visually lossless video and sound compression, screen size independent video formats, encryption to protect intellectual property, and virtual immunity to the Internet’s Quality of Service (QoS) problems such a packet latencies, packets arriving out of sequence, and packets being dropped in a congested network. The new methods would work equally well for a new HDTV transmission standard or Satellite video.

Applications: An Internet website would allow movie distribution worldwide via the Internet or the future Information Superhighway. A proof of concept demonstration is available.

Keywords: Autosophy, Internet video, Video compression, Sound compression, Satellite communication, Video encryption.
