Muze Partners with Video Pipeline

Muze (http://www.muze.com) announced the launch of MUZE VIEWS, a new streaming video service for e-tailers, in collaboration with Video Pipeline ( http://www.videopipeline.com), a provider of video streaming previews.

This moves information provider Muze into providing not only regular text information on books and other media, but also video previews of videotapes and DVD for online retailers.

"More than 200 online sites are being driven by our entertainment data," said Anthony Laudico, CEO of Muze, Inc. "Teaming up with Video Pipeline, another industry leader will furthermore enhance our leadership in providing digital content that enables commerce to thrive on the Web."

Consumers can currently access 6,800 Muze Views for both video and DVD titles. New trailers are added weekly as new video and DVD titles become available. Each preview is linked to the Muze video database and ranges from thirty seconds to two minutes in length. They are available at low and high bandwidths (up to 100Kbps).

"We believe that our online previews are having a significant impact on the purchasing decisions of online consumers," said Jed Horowitz, President of Video Pipeline, Inc. "Working with Muze will facilitate the spread of their use because implementation is now a very simple matter for e-tailers."
