CinemaNow Unveils Burn-to-DVD Service

MARINA DEL REY, July 19: The broadband on-demand content
provider CinemaNow has launched a new service that allows consumers in the U.S.
to legally download content and burn it to DVD, with deals in place with
several Hollywood studios as well as with independents such as Lionsgate and
Sundance Channel.

The content initially available in CinemaNow’s beta trial of
the service will be drawn from Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Lionsgate, MGM
Worldwide Digital Media, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Universal Studios
Home Entertainment, EagleVision and Sundance Channel.

"Today, our customers will experience a true innovation
in home entertainment: the ability to obtain a DVD in the comfort of their
living room," said Curt Marvis, the CEO of CinemaNow. "Since
CinemaNow was founded in 1999, our mission has been to provide our customers
with convenient access to video content. This is a historic day for CinemaNow
and we are at the forefront of digital video distribution."

CinemaNow customers can choose from more than 100 titles
that they can purchase for Burn to DVD. Customers will have the ability to
download the complete movie, as well as full graphic menus, 5.1 surround sound,
special features, language and commentary tracks and all bonus materials
available on traditional retail DVDs.

Once the CinemaNow customer downloads the DVD, they can
choose to play the file back on their PC using their Windows Media Player, and
can burn one copy to a DVD that can be played in virtually any DVD player.
Prices for DVDs start at $8.99 and include a printable DVD label and cover art.

The first slate of titles available includes Charlie's
Angels: Full Throttle, Scent of a
Woman and Barbershop.
