Talk:Video on demand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't understand Video on demand. Are there advertisements?

  • I merged Near Video on Demand into VOD and redirected the NVOD page here.

Any factors can acclerate and inhibit the growth of VOD?

[edit] VoD and special features?

After reading the article, I am still not sure whether or not VoD services allow you to watch all the special features that come with a movie when you rent/buy a DVD. Can anybody clarify this?

Reply:VOD is going to show you the feature of the DVD. It's not like putting a DVD in a player and streaming it to your TV. However, for more highly anticipated releases of movies, the content provider will sometimes include special features that you can watch as separate videos (they are generally free, even if you don't watch the regular movie). Sometimes they embed special features at the head or tail of the movie as well. Okipatrick 01:50, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About VOD

Now, there are some New Releases that are coming with DVD capabilities, like the Warner Bros. "Movies that Pop" [1]. VOD is like a Pay-per-View that you can watch whenever you'd like. Video On Demand allows you to order movies right from home using your digital remote. With access to a library of hollywood titles at your fingertips, Video On Demand lets you watch movies on your time. With VCR functionality, you’re in control of your Video On Demand movie. Fast forward, rewind, or pause at any time. It’s customized to fit your needs, so you can have the most convenient and enjoyable movie experience

[edit] OIPV acronym

This seems to have been invented specially for Wikipedia, 'OIPV video' search on Google doesn't find it anywhere else. Suggest we change this to 'VOD over IP'. Richard Donkin 08:28, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ResumeViewingOption 1.jpg

Image:ResumeViewingOption 1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
