Video encoding to iPods

, a Hollywood based digital archiving management company, now offers output of all content stored by clients to the new Apple's iPod video. Using a single click, BAM (bitMAX asset manager) users can output content to be played on this new portable device to be shared company-wide. "This natural offshoot of digital media distributionanswers the need for companies to easily and cost effectively distribute and share their media electronically at a high enough quality that provides a new 'punch' to their marketing arsenal," according to the company. It is available to all users effective immediately and requires only that they have QuickTime 7 and the latest version of iTunes installed. The product is compatible with both Mac and PC platforms.

"This is but one of the first methods that users can easily show media on a portable device that has as wide a user base as the iPod does," states Marjorie Bach, bitMAX's Exec. VP. "Apple's product offering made this a 'no-brainer' for us and we are excited to offer it to our clients."
