retailer Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) and CustomFlix Labs, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc., today announced the
introduction of the Media Gateway program, a worldwide initiative to
digitize and sell previously unavailable video content on Amazon.com.
At the heart of the Media Gateway program is the CustomFlix
Future-Proof Archive(TM) service, a secure storage and reformatting
platform designed to provide content owners the flexibility to
repurpose content into multiple future digital formats. The
Future-Proof Archive service currently supports DVD-Video, with
additional formats to be announced.
The Media Gateway program enables content owners to unlock the
hundreds of thousands of hours of content trapped in analog tape
formats making it immediately available for sale as physical DVDs, and
enabling the content for future inventory-free digital formats. For a
limited time, CustomFlix will offer digitization and DVD authoring of
qualified content with no up-front investment by the content provider.
Amazon.com will then make this content available for sale to tens of
millions of Amazon customers and CustomFlix will manufacture DVDs on
demand as customers place orders.
