Video-on-Stick (VoS)
open-PLAYER is pleased to announce the VOS initiative, commissioning and distributing artists’ videos for small editions to be released on USB sticks utilizing our new compression and playback software. Each edition includes a video project and a USB enclosure designed or handmade by the artist. open-PLAYER playback software enables videos to play automatically upon insertion into a USB port. Editions will be signed and numbered, and include a certificate of authenticity.
open-PLAYER will also distribute an unlimited iPhone edition of videos in the series. Depending on the agreement with the artist, we will release iPhone edition either at the same time as the USB version or only when the main edition is sold out.
VoS may be purchased online; artists are compensated immediately on the sale of an edition.
UPDATE: ZDNet published a story yesterday, about a startup, Portomedia, who plans to start video rentals on USB video sticks.
