DULLES, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2005--

       Trial Begins for "AOL Hi-Q" Video Format, Which Provides
      Free Video on Demand, Such as Online Movie Trailers, Music
          Videos, and Video Game Trailers, to Broadband Users


The AOL.com portal is the first to introduce a trial for a new
"AOL Hi-Q" high quality video format. The AOL Hi-Q format builds on
the AOL.com Web portal's industry-leading video experience
( http://www.aol.com/video ) and can deliver DVD quality videos, in
addition to standard quality streaming video, free to broadband users.
Consumers can view AOL Hi-Q video on demand as well as select to have
new Hi-Q videos in a particular category of interest, such as online
movie trailers, music videos, video game trailers and more
entertainment content, pushed to them when they are available.

...

Using one of the industry's first commercial-grade, peer-to-peer
grid distribution networks, developed in partnership with Kontiki,
AOL(R) Hi-Q(TM) can deliver DVD quality videos directly to consumers
more quickly and efficiently. The peer-to-peer distribution network
built by Kontiki features robust security to protect copyrighted
content through digital rights management (DRM) and a centrally
managed, highly-scalable delivery model that enables AOL to reliably
deliver content to consumers. Through the installation of a simple
plug-in, a special AOL Hi-Q video player provides a high resolution
display with image quality designed for full-screen viewing on PC
monitors or televisions capable of showing a PC interface.
