About ScribeMedia

ScribeMedia is a software development, media production and new media strategy firm. Our passion is digital media and the development of applications that support conversation, communication and content distribution.

Our belief is that there are a lot of great events around the country, and the world, every day. But only the people who can make it in person, due to travel costs, time schedules, or the price of a ticket, benefit from the great conversation, dialogue and debate. There are hundreds, if not thousands of others who would enjoy participating, if only they had the chance.

Our goal is to make sure more than just the people in the room benefit from educational events across a variety of industries, whether it is a 50 person lecture on Religion in America, or a 1,000 person media summit.

Hopefully, in the years to come, it will be common practice to tune into an interesting event halfway around the world on mainstream and obscure topics alike. Everyone is into something...

CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 4 -- On2 Technologies (NYSE Amex: ONT) announced today that Verismo Networks has licensed its On2 VP6 video codec for use in the Verismo VuNow Internet TV platform. The VP6 license and software integration enable Verismo VuNow devices to play VP6 video in resolutions up to and including 720p (HD model only).
