[klipschfan]

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The way consumers interact with entertainment media is about to take a giant leap forward. Moovida™, a developer of software and services to enhance media consumption, today announced the US launch of the most comprehensive media player that lets users intuitively find, manage and play entertainment content, including movies, TV episodes, and music, regardless of format.
Moovida is making its debut at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show, January 6-9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center (South Hall 2 # 26725).
Unlike other media players that limit the type of content a consumer can interact with, Moovida delivers an elegant and simple "find, manage and play" experience while preserving the freedom of choice to enjoy entertainment media regardless of format. Moovida also does it within an extremely visual, intuitive 3D graphics environment.
"Digital entertainment media, especially movies, is everywhere, but nowhere. Consumers have to navigate a bewildering set of incompatible formats, competing content retailers with incomplete media offerings, and closed or complex ecosystems that make it difficult and frustrating to enjoy. At Moovida, we turned our own passion about movies into a tool that lets fellow movie lovers everywhere find what they want and enjoy it when they want to," said Emmanuel Marquez, CEO of Moovida.
Backup and Catalogue Your DVD Collection Automatically
Never again will consumers have to hunt for a DVD they know they have somewhere in their collection. Moovida lets you automatically back up and catalogue any DVD content for your personal use. It then accurately and automatically identifies entertainment media, providing cover art, posters, synopses, and more.
The Moovida Database: Over 70,000 Titles and Counting
For movie lovers there is no better way than through Moovida to find any type of movie or video that's been made in the world. MoovidaDB is a database that contains over 70,000 movie titles and grows daily as new content comes to market. It lets you search by title, actor, director, genre, or any other filter you define in English, French, Spanish, Italian, or German.
You can also search by movie type, such as Hollywood Studio, Independent, Foreign, etc.
The quality of the database is enhanced by the Moovida community (over 2 million downloads worldwide) who are continually adding information about their movies that can then be shared with friends.
The Moovida Experience: It's Like a Living Wall of Entertainment
With its 3D graphics interface, powered by the 3D Diesel gaming engine, Moovida instantly displays tens of thousands of movie titles in an easy-to-navigate and visually stunning way.
As you move your cursor across the movie wall, individual movie title graphics animate. You can then click on a movie to get additional information, including writer, director, cast, running time, etc. and preview the movie in a mini pop-up screen.
Coming soon, Moovida will be able to let you know where you can find your selection to rent, purchase or stream online or play from your own DVD catalogue.
