MotionDSP, a company that specializes in digital video technology, has announced a new consumer service called fixmymovie.com, where video from any source can purportedly be “dramatically enhanced” online.
Using technology originally developed for high-tech intelligence applications, fixmymovie.com employs MotionDSP’s video enhancement solutions and applies them to user-generated content. Examples can range from video of a baby’s first steps to breaking news captured with a mobile phone.
Fixmymovie.com can take any video file from a mobile phone or digital camera and make it better, according to Dr. Sean Varah, CEO of MotionDSP. FixMyMovie’s suite of automatic enhancements improves overall resolution, corrects for poor lighting conditions and removes the blockiness and other artifacts that ruin most mobile phone and low-end digital camera videos, he says.
Fixmymovie.com is one of the first public sites to utilize Adobe’s newest version of Flash for video encoding, which incorporates support for H.264 video. In addition to H.264 Flash, enhanced video clips are available for download to Macs, iPods, iPhones and Microsoft Windows PCs (as a WMV file).
Now available as a consumer beta, Fixmymovie.com allows for free enhancement of video clips smaller than CIF resolution (352×288 pixels) and less than 20MB (almost any video from a mobile phone or digital camera fits these requirements).
