YesVideo, NIHON SOGO TELEVISION CO.,LTD. Deliver Wedding Videos On DVD Throughout Japan

SAN JOSE, Calif. - June 11, 2002 - YesVideo today announced a strategic relationship with NIHON SOGO TELEVISION CO.,LTD., the largest wedding videography company in Japan. Nihon Sogo has committed to using YesVideo services to transfer thousands of wedding videos onto DVD.

Nihon Sogo shoots wedding videos in two sections - the ceremony and the reception. The company uses contract-based professional videographers shooting on digital videotape. The video is then edited and transferred to DVD using YesVideo services.

YesVideo indexes 54 thumbnail images taken from the wedding video so customers can skip directly to the scene they want to view - without holding down a fast-forward button. The DVD or CD arrives in customized packaging and the cover features a visual index of the video, making it easy to select which training DVD to watch. The completed DVDs are usually delivered to customers within three weeks to a month after the wedding.

"In 2001, Nihon Sogo recorded more than 30,000 weddings on video in Japan," said Sai-Wai Fu, chief executive officer of YesVideo. "Their selection of YesVideo to outsource their video-to-DVD conversions is a tremendous validation of our products and services."

In addition to the bridal application, Nihon Sogo has been winning work in other areas such as creating AIDS Prevention DVD titles for kiosks in hospitals, health centers and the departure lobby at Tokyo's Narita International Airport.

Based in Tokyo, Nihon Sogo was founded in 1976 and employs several hundred people at its 14 branch offices throughout Japan and in New York City.

"YesVideo provides a very high quality service at a very attractive price" said Koichirou Shimojo, Senior Managing Director of Nihon Sogo, "Our agreement with YesVideo will allow all of our customers to preserve their precious wedding memories forever."

YesVideo is the most convenient, simple and affordable customized service for transferring home videos to DVD and CD. Sai-Wai Fu, a pioneer in digital video compression technology, founded the company in 1999. The company is located at 2249 Zanker Road, San Jose, CA 95131 and can be reached on the Internet at http://www.yesvideo.com, via email at vsupport@yesvideo.com or by phone at 408-907-7600 or (toll-free) 877-817-5375.
