TRINFINITY SOFTWARE RELEASES SEAGULL VIDEO PLAYER 1.0

Trinfinity Software releases Seagull Video Player version 1.0.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – – November 14, 2001 – – Trinfinity Software released today
Seagull Video Player 1.0, which enables the user to create a playlist of
video files and play them, full screen, on their computer.

Due to the speed limitations of most Internet connections, videos often
have to broken up into pieces to make it easier for users to download them.
Anyone who has ever waited all night to download a video, only to lose the
connection and have to start again, knows the value of being able to
download videos in pieces. Now, there is no need for interruption when one
segment ends. Users will no longer be bewildered by complex video editors
as they attempt to re-assembly their video. Just select the video files you
want to play, choose the order, and hit play. It couldn’t be easier!

Seagull Video Player can be used to watch segmented movies, movie clips,
favorite television commercials, episodes of favorite television shows,
business presentations, or any kind of videos. We use it in our offices to
constantly play Apple videos (commercials, keynotes, WWDC Conference
Sessions, etc.).

Seagull Video Player plays videos on the entire screen, so there aren’t any
distractions. The videos are also automatically adjusted to be shown at the
largest size, without disturbing the aspect ratio. Why buy a more expensive
product, just to get features that you don’t need and will never use?

WHY THE NAME “SEAGULL”?
———————–

Our intention for this project was to design a Sequential Agile Full Screen
Video Player. Each part will be explained individually.

Sequential: Opening each video file and playing it individually is
frustrating and time consuming. Pre-selecting a number of video files and
playing them sequentially, in any order, without having to do it manually
is more efficient.

Agile: The video player had to be agile, it should play many formats.
QuickTime was chosen as it has built-in support for many file formats.

Full Screen: The videos should play on the entire screen – not in a window.
There would be less distractions and the video can be viewed better from
farther away.

The name seagull comes from the letters of our goal: SEquential AGile fULL
screen video player
