    by Denise Dillon, August 12, 1998

    by Joshua Piven, pg. 34 August, 1998
    "Inexpensive videoconferencing may not be ready for prime time but video e-mail is. With Cubic Videocomm's CVideo-Mail you'll soon be knocking out quick pep talks to your sales staff or creative thank-you messages to your clients. Don't expect full-screen, broadcast-quality video; you'll appear in a small, two- by- two-inch box at a video rate of about 15 frames per second. You save your video just as you would a normal file, then send it as an e-mail attachment, which includes an embedded player, so all the recipient has to do is download the file and double-click on it to watch it."

  • Fast Company "The Net Goes Postal"
    "For years it's been possible to capture video on a computer, store the images, and send them as an attachment to an email message. But it's been difficult to do, it's required expensive software and hardware, and the files have been too large for most people to download. Not any longer. Cubic VideoComm Inc.'s CVideo-Mail with a video capture board and sells for $149 [note: 2.0
    pricing structure has changed]. It allows you to record, digitize, and compress a video clip (with audio) all in one step, and to attach the file to an email. A marketing demo, an inspirational message to your team, or your daughter's graduation can be quickly captured, sent over the Net, and dropped in a recipient's inbox. You need your own camera, although a standard camcorder will do." More...
